What is this? Hoax (looks like a gibbon or monkey skull held closer to camera to give illusion of being larger than chimp skull)? Is is something new? Something old just discovered by science? Kin of Homo Habilus or some other hominid

If this thing is a Hybrid of a Chimp and a Gorrilla, than why would it be larger than a Gorrilla?, since the Gorrilla is already larger than a Chimp. You would think that its size would be in between the two.

Such pairings "can throw a monkey wrench in our idea of species," Louis said.

No, such pairings (even successful in vitro fertilizations) can give insight into the common ancestry between the animals involved.

Researchers say the mystery ape is much more 'flat-faced' and substantially bigger.

Here's a clearer photo of the beast:
