Can we cross breed with chimpanzees?

There have been no scientifically verified specimens of a human–chimpanzee hybrid, but there have been substantiated reports of unsuccessful attempts at human/chimpanzee hybridization in the Soviet Union in the 1920s, and various unsubstantiated reports on similar attempts during the second half of the 20th century.

Well, the short answer is no. Both animals and plants have evolved extensive mechanisms which prevent this from happening. First, sperm have to find their way to an egg.

Which is the best example of cross fostering?

Cross-fostering is a simple and highly effective technique for separating the effect of rearing environment from genetic (instinctive) influences on behavior. Consider two species of swiftlet: species A, which grows up in nests that resemble weaving, and species B, which grows up in well-constructed mud cups.

How does cross fostering work in the wild?

If the behavior is entirely genetically programmed, then species A animals will weave nests, even if they are reared in a species B nest. If the behavior is shaped by learning and experience, then species A will learn and adapt to species B’s mud construction. Cross-fostering is transfer of young between mothers.

Where can you give a baby chimpanzee away?

When is it necessary to cross foster pups?
