The conclusion that we are, in part, the product of the mating of a pig and a chimp is unprovable, as the professor admits, but the similarities between pig and human that he points out are, like it or not, true. As has been pointed out before, parts of our DNA is shared by many animals, not just chimps and pigs.

Hardy’s theory of man’s aquatic origins does better at explaining than the theory of the pig-monkey, who is quoted above.

This is probably the most attention Dr. McCarthy has received in his entire life. Who says Georgia is nothing but a football program, eh?

According to Chinese Astrology, this isn't as far fetched as it seems:
The Pig and the Monkey can have a lot of fun together. Both these signs are generally happy, positive types and both are sensualists, albeit the Monkey in a bit more of a decadent way than the Pig. The Pig loves fine foods, luscious surroundings, lovemaking, even simple pleasures like sleeping in a comfortable bed and taking a long bubble bath. The Monkey is more decadent than this in that its interests are less home-based and more centered in party atmospheres and big, noisy crowds in which anything can happen. To the Pig, family and close friends are the most important things in life; to the Monkey, the pursuit of pleasure is the important thing.
As lovers, then, the Monkey might spend some time trying to convince the Pig to go out rather than staying in; after all, the Monkey is definitely a sexual being but doesnt want to spend hours on end in the bedroom. After a while, though, the Monkey will tire of trying to motivate the Pig and will go out on its own. The Pig will have to be ready to compromise, since the Monkey isnt too flexible. The good thing is, when in love, the Pig is a very generous, acquiescent sign who wants nothing more than to please its mate; the bad thing is, this trait sometimes leads to the Pig allowing itself to be taken advantage of. The Monkey would never knowingly mistreat the Pig but might not be very careful either.

I think Eugene McCarthy got it wrong. It was a male chimp mounting the female pig that got it started. I had a friend who told me he did it all the time when he was on the farm.

Well, this would explain Islam’s prohibition to eating pork— they could be eating one of their own relatives....

As has been pointed out before, parts of our DNA is shared by many animals, not just chimps and pigs. True, but not many are as close as pigs in the characteristics pointed out in the article. I know it's hard for many to accept.

Chimps: 24 pairs of chromosomes.
Pigs: 19 pairs of chromosomes.
Humans: 23 pairs of chromosomes.
Interesting concept, but I am a bit of a skeptic.
Possible, but even with the supporting evidence, I have doubts.
