So we're genetically close because we are descended from them, but genetically too far apart to reproduce. Okay.

Well, we didn't descend from modern gorillas and chimps. All living apes come from an extinct ape ancestor. The rest of your statement is correct, though.

Do you know what speciation means? You also keep repeating the same error despite being corrected...(glad you aren't my secretary) . Aside from the silliness of maintaining that human beings evolved from current-day apes, breeding an ape and a human together likely hasn't been tried (you are welcome to volunteer) and having worked extensively with apes and monkeys, I've never met anyone who would be up to the task.
