Human-Animal Hybrids!

Alert El Presidente

According to the new theory, chimps and humans shared a common apelike ancestor much more recently than was thought. Furthermore, when the two emerging species split from each other, it was not a clean break. Some members of the two groups seem to have interbred about 1.2 million years after they first diverged — before going their separate ways for good.

If this theory proves correct, it will mean modern people are descended from something akin to chimp-human hybrids. That is a new idea, and it challenges the prevailing view that hybrids tend to die out.

    Further proof that simians will fuck ANYTHING!

  2. Some members of the two groups seem to have interbred about 1.2 million years after they first diverged…

    That would be the Bush lineage.

    Careful, there OW…any discussion at all of the fact that human beings might have a smidgeon of DNA in common with chimpanzees, will drive the religous right into a foaming, frothing uproar. Witness: The Davinci Code (The Book and Movie).

    Hey…at least *that* is fiction. The above, is science.

    Daily reads of Crusty McFrank and Dugger’s entries on this blog are supportive of the above theory.

    Oh, you clever devil, Jerky Knothead! Guess who I think is descended from the Chimp?

    Jenna and Barbara, right? Sorry, but that one was hard to pass up.

    You cheated, Bushwacked. frank was not looking for the obvious answer.

  7. Frank_D says:

    I’ll bet Jenna and Barbara are prettier than anyone you ever dated, human or simian…
    I can keep this up indefinitely.

    My answer is awaiting Oliver’s blessing, but now I get the joke.
    Honestly, I have never “got” why Bush is called a chimp.

  9. Rounds77 says:

    Do you “get” why he’s called Alfred E Newman?

  10. Frank_D says:

    Yeah, that one I get… Making fun of how the President looks doesn’t have quite the thrill for me it does for Democratics making fun of Bush, but to each his / her own.

    So, a zillion years ago, when men looked like apes anyway, according to those silly charts that start with a gorilla, and end with a guy in a business suit, they were making it other ape – like whatevers.
    Back then, a chimp may have looked better than Og’s prom date.
