Is there any animal, closely related to humans that a human can breed with?
Is there any animal, closely related to humans that a human can breed with?
Ok, I am not supporting bestiality here. But, I just came to know about a Dogxim, a dog fox hybrid and I had known for a long time that horses and donkeys can breed (to produce a mule). So, I was just curious, can humans breed with any other animals closely related to us?
NO.
talking to girls is not that hard, dude
Omg no
ಥ_ಥ
Not anymore. We assimilated the neanderthals a long time ago.
Other close relative species don't exist anymore.
We all fo...breeded with them to our kind
Breed with, out-competed, killed... All options on the table, the important thing is to get busy.
Asking for a friend?
Kim Kardashian?
Tinder not working out as expected?
Why else would I ask that question? Completely unrelated but you won't happen to have any goats nearby, would you?
In terms of human Pokémon compatibility /ref
No, not since Neanderthals, Denisovians and friends went extinct.
Even Neanderthals are a bit of a partial case, since the hybrid males were mostly sterile. We know this from the pattern that Neanderthal genes appear in modern DNA.
Where can one read more on the second paragraph?
Uhh, I think there was a Nature article about it. Per the Wikipedia, basically there's just stretches of the X chromosome that are deserts of Neanderthal DNA, because when a Neanderthal allele is present and there isn't a second copy, it's a reproductive dead end and selected out.
Oh, here.
For a specific example, Ozzy Osbourne has some Neanderthal DNA which might possibly explain why he's still alive lol

There were multiple attempts to cross humans and chimpanzees, all of which failed. However, through gene editing, human-chimpanzee and human-pig chimeras were created.
These are just normal animals, but their inner organs are made to be compatible for human organ donation.
would like to know more
Homo sapiens are the last remaining species of hominina. Our closest remaining relatives, the Pan (chimpanzees and bonobos) diverged at least 6.5 million years ago. Though there is some evidence early hominina may have interbred with pan after the divergence as recently as 4 mya.
This is more recent than dogs and foxes by a long way, and about the same as donkeys and horses. That, plus chromosomal analysis and some other research suggests it could be possible for a human and chimp or bonobo to interbreed, though likely not create fertile offspring. However, there has never been a confirmed case of this occurring, despite multiple claims.
Edit: useful articles:
For the sake of completeness:

Because of that one caveman, we are all shamed forever.
We’re talking way earlier than cavemen. The last interbreeding between our ancestors and chimps’ ancestors happened (using the most recent estimate I could find) a million years before the least recent evidence of the use of any stone tools. This is not a human that would be recognisable at all as a human.
Welp, now I am curious. There are like 10 billion of us, this can't not happen.
Excellent answer!
Pretty sure that we can't breed with chimps and generate a fertile offspring due the mismatch on the number of chromosomes.
Doesn't HIV come from chimps too? Not knowing too much about it, I would imagine that presents some challenges.
Yeah fertile offspring is almost entirely off the table here from what I can see.

There must have been a misunderstanding, when I said I want to "eat pussy", this is not what I meant
I thought you meant in the "eating the dogs and eating the cats" sense :3 /s
i didnt fuck my cat. i didnt cum on my cat. i didnt put my dick anywhere near my cat. Ive never done anything weird with my cats.
There is a good reason for that image.
here be psychic dragons
wtf
Suddenly ing the cat takes on a whole new meaning
Conventional prehistory says there used to be animals we could interbreed with, but that we in fact bred with them so much that the hybrids replaced the creatures made to get said hybrid.
These replaced peoples were, of course, designated members of the homo genus, which Homo Sapiens (the scientific name for humans) gets its name from, and they include things such as (using their common names, not their scientific names) Neanderthals (geographically found in Southern Europe), Denisovans (found mostly to the West, towards Asia), and Hobbits (yes, hobbits, they were found in the Pacific). Nothing of note happened in America.
The Neanderthals and the Denisovans are of particular note, as their territories overlapped commonly, and there are cave findings that show they themselves interbred with each other and produced perfectly functioning offspring. I can only hope when they were engaging in the act, they asked to mingle and ended it with "no homo".
There are, however, reports that, at the same time in prehistory, we did try to breed with other animals that haven't been replaced, typically the great apes, as evidenced by lice samples found in both us and them, but that this, quite expectedly, didn't lead to any hybrid outcomes.
I just found this, so you'll have to read it too: https://www.the-sun.com/news/3657105/prostitute-orangutan-pony-tragic-story/
Summary:
TW: sexual animal abuse
Female orangutan named Pony was used as a prostitute for years. She was chained to a bed, shaved every other day leaving her with irritated, itchy, sore-covered skin. They also put make-up, perfume and jewellery on her, and taught her to perform sex acts. The local community didn't want to let her go because she was generating great revenue. In the end it took 35 armed police officers to rescue her.
Jesus Christ
He won't find you here, this is Lemmy :')
Welp. That’s fucking awful.
Can that summary be hidden, like with a spoiler tag? I can't stomach this stuff. It'll be days before I am not constantly thinking about that poor abused animal.
Thankfully, Pony, now 21, was rescued by the Borneo Orangutan Survival Foundation, and now lives at one of their rehabilitation centres.
I take solace in the fact that she was rescued and is now living a safe, happy life.
Breed with? No, not since we out-bred and out-competed Neandertals. And Denisovans. And at least one other ancestral human subspecies in sub-Saharan Africa. So at least 3 ancient homo sapiens subspecies that we used to interbreed with, but none left now.
We still have their genes, so we've got that going for us...
I'm fairly sure I got more Naendrathal genes than human. I have so much hair, it counts as fur :/
You will be assimilated... with fucking.
Not since the Neanderthals left us
"Why do they keep yelling ungabunga with a persistant erection every time we hang out? Fuck this I'm out."
space ship flies away
That's absolutely preposterous, I am still alive and my friends say I am one of them Neanderthals
Hey maybe we broke up with them. We don't know.
finishes
Did I do thaaaat?
Now that I'm middle aged... How old is
SteveJaleel in this clip? I've seen so much of his face that I can't tell if he's 15 or 25.Note: how have I never known his name is Jaleel White?
Note 2: Family Matters aired from when he was 13 to 22 years old. So... That's my answer.
Your mom!
*sorry, 80s nostalgia hit hard for a second there.
At least wait till I ask a question about a cow or something
There used to be Neanderthals (homo sapiens neanderthalensis) and a few others, we basically interbred them out of existence.
While we did fuck them a lot, knowing us, I don't think that's what caused their extinction.
It's not really called "extinction" from more modern understanding I guess, more like assimilated over a long period of time and from species contact and living with each other.
uh.....
reminds me of 8chan
Is 8chan still a thing? Honestly I like the concept of image boards and thought it was cool of 8chan to allow you to make your own boards. But of course image boards attract the worst
There were rumors of a human/chimp hybrid decades ago:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Humanzee
Despite the existence of Oliver, it still seems unproven:
The Nazis & the Japanese experimented with this as well. AFAIK neither faction ever achieved anything resembling success. Fertilization occurs, but then immediately stops as there's no compatibility, and the cells die.
Genetic testing basically puts a large amount of doubt on it though. More likely it wasn’t a hybrid than was.
Decades you say😶😶
You're short a comma. It's the American Ghost Comma right after 'humans'.
Remember that Rogers Telecom paid out a million bucks because it couldn't write a clear sentence.
Him: "Which animals can I fuck?"
You: "This reminds me of canadian contract law. Also I can use this as an opportunity for language prescriptivism."
Actually the question was, "which animalbcan I breed with?". I think it's important not to misrepresent the facts.
As for rogers, they didn't have to pay Alliant because the court changed its mind after reading the french version of the contract. In the french version, it is clear the english contract means the plainly obvious interpretation, not the lawyery silent american comma bullshit!
The deal was a five year term, that auto renews for five years unless you cancel it a year in advance.
Alliant wanted to cancel the contract inside the first five year term, the gall of these lawyers!

There's a documentary called Revenge of "Billy the Kid" that doesn't go into too much detail, but might answer your question.
No.
The biological definition of a species is “a group of organisms that can interbreed and produce fertile offspring” (in other words, the offspring need to also be able to reproduce; there are instances, such as mules, where two species reproduce but the offspring cannot themselves reproduce)
I don't think that definition matters, considering the fertility of offspring is irrelevant to OP's question.
