And mate with a chimp in an effort to produce a Humanzee?
(And NO, that's not how HIV/AIDS got started.)

You just made my day! No, please don't. The genes don't match enough to even produce a "chuman". What even gave you such an idea...? Maybe I shouldn't ask. (I'm afraid that there might be a bunch of guys on Answers that are apelike in their behavior, and hygiene, who would offer to take you up on it, and you seem like a nice person; I don't want that to happen to you!)
It reminds me of my all time favorite headline from the Weekly World News:
GIRL GIVES BIRTH TO CHIMP IN TRAGIC SPERMBANK MIXUP!
The funny part of it is in knowing that it is impossible and imagining the response of people who didn't know it was impossible!
I know that aids got started, not by cross-species sex but by, shall we say, other oral activities. "Bush meat", indeed...!

Humanzees are a myth. The actual species is called "bonobo". It's a subspecies of chimpanzee that walks more like a human and resembles humans more than regular chimps.
If you mated with a chimp the baby would probably turn out deformed.

OH - so HOW did HIV/AIDS really get started? Ya know what as far as the humanzee goes - the Aliens already beat ya to that one.

I think that there already is an Humanzee. I don't know where, but it seems like I've heard a lot about it.

It's impossible for a human to mate with a chimpanzee. Our genetics are too different, we weren't even able to mate with Neanderthals.

Are you gonna mix the cells in a lab, or actually screw the monkey. The first scenario seems overdone and dull. The second scenario...well...call me when you want to make a movie.

Yes, film it. It would be a great sacrifice for science.

It won't work....but you may be able to make some money if you videotape it.
