There was a great documentary recently on an upright-walking small-eared, really weird looking Chimp (famous in the 1970s and now living out his twilight years in a wild life center here in the US) that people were sure was an ape-human hybrid.

Alas, genetic tests finally proved that he was indeed all-Chimp, but apparently from some isolated sub-group in the depths of Africa.

There is also an amazing story about how Stalin allegedly set his scientists up to try to create an "ape-man" hybrid in the 1920s (the stronger to be able to work)...needless to say, they failed to successfully impregnate female apes with human sperm....something only a lunatic like Stalin could believe was possible....

Someone, I don't recall who, posted some information on that recently. Maybe he'll post a link.
