I found Russian source that shows that during WWII Stalin actualy ordered the country's top genetic expert to find a way to breed primitive men who would make good soldiers that did not mind sleeping on the ground and eating just any food. The man went to Africa and tried to breed ape and human to fullfill his assignment, but it ended in total failure!
I guess it is assumed that the chimp and we humans cannot interbreed!

That was basically the premise behind the movie “Soldiers”. They tried to make better soldiers by removing their humanity but in the end finding their humanity is what made them better soldiers. Really good movie. Lots of gun fire and things blowing up.

fortunately Lysenko was in charge of the genetic programme, and he was a convinced Lamarckist - hence none of his agricultural experiments came to anything, and i would not expect him to create genetically improved soldiers either

Chromosomal counts differ between humans, chimps, bonobos, gorillas, orangutans, and gibbons.
And there's only a few rare instances of complete haploid chromosome sets where the fetus survives at all; where you might consider fertile, viable crossbreeding. Although contrary to popular opinion, identical chromosomal count is NOT an absolute necessity for fertile viable crossbreeding.
What would be interesting, but of questionable ethics, would be if chimpanzee eggs could be in vitro fertilized by human sperm, or vice versa. Personally, I wouldn't object to the experiment. However, I might object to raising any successful results! |
