"....dat explains a lot....I mean have you ever known a monkey to clean up after themselves?"

The human species began as the hybrid offspring of a male pig and a female chimpanzee, a leading geneticist has suggested. The startling claim has been made by Eugene McCarthy, of the University of Georgia, who is also one of the worlds leading authorities on hybridisation in animals. He points out that while humans have many features in common with chimps, we also have a large number of distinguishing characteristics not found in any other primates.
Dr McCarthy says these divergent characteristics are most likely the result of a hybrid origin at some point far back in human evolutionary history. What's more, he suggests, there is one animal that has all of the traits which distinguish humans from our primate cousins in the animal kingdom. 'What is this other animal that has all these traits?' he asks rhetorically. 'The answer is Sus scrofa, the ordinary pig.' Dr McCarthy elaborates his astonishing hypothesis in an article on Macroevolution.net, a website he curates. He is at pains to point out that that it is merely a hypothesis, but he presents compelling evidence to support it.

"....dat explains a lot....I mean have you ever known a monkey to clean up after themselves?"
As has been pointed out before, parts of our DNA is shared by many animals, not just chimps and pigs.
“Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools”
Romans 1:22
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?
He should go back to playing the banjo.
LOL!
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 doesn’t 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 isn’t 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....
Well, that would explain some of the couples I see walking around.
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.
Hmmm, long pig, eh? Now it makes sense!
Entropy is not a friend of “evolution”.
I contend that a monkey mated with a football.
Now we know where LIBs come from!
