From chimp to man: it's as easy as 1, 2, 3!

And you know this how, exactly? Human sperm have been shown to be able to penetrate the ovum of a gibbon - a primate, but far removed from humans/chimps. 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.Lions and tigers are interfertile to at least some degree, and I'll bet a shiny nickel that those two differ more genetically than man and chimp.

It is funny, though, that electricity-users have been around for a bit less than 150 years, and non-electric folks for thousands. Hell, microwave oven users have only been around since I was in college.What's your point, OM?Edited by Coragyps, : I'll go back on topic, really.......
