Now "penetrate" isn't "fertilize," but I'm not sure you can catagorically say that humans and chimps aren't interfertile. And no, I'm not advocating experiments to test it out - not beyond the second cell division, anyway.
They only let it go to the second cell division before destroying it? I could've sworn it went longer.

It has been done. A group of scientists got an ovum and a spermatozoon, one from a human and one from a chimp, to fuse. After several cell divisions, it was destroyed. I'll try to dig up a link.
​
Edit: Searches on Google and Wikipedia have turned up nothing. I must have been imagining it.
​
Second edit: I tried using other apes in the search criteria and still didn't get anything. What makes this particularly irritating was that I could have sworn I originally heard about this on this forum.

That's what I was thinking of. Thanks.
