I heard there once was.
Humans and apes are 99% the same.

I know it could not happen between human and e.g.horse.

The link below is really great. It answers your question in great detail with video clips of fantastic research.
There have been many model of man over time. Some did well for a long time and some did not. There are changes in present day man all the time. There is a great difference in our size, and abilities. We speak many different languages and have many degrees of intelligence. Some will change us in the future, some will not do well. If we are to survive, we must improve faster than our environment or change our location from earth. This may involve changing ourselves to live elsewhere.

New Fossils of Homo floresiensis
October 13, 2005
Additional fossils attributed to Homo floresiensis have been described. These fossils provided more evidence for an endemic species of small bodied Homo on Flores.

Tool Use Observed in Wild Gorillas
September 30, 2005
Great apes, including chimpanzees and orangutans, have been observed using tools in the wild but until now tool use had not been observed in gorillas. Two new reports highlight the ability of gorillas to use tools in the wild

if there were a 'hybrid' as you call it, then there would be three different species by now. humans and apes wouldn't have gone this long without breeding together if it were possible... that's nature. if a species can breed with another, then they do. We can't. so we didn't, because we're not 99% the same, we're 94% the same. As someone said before, we are closer related to the pig biologically than the ape, that's why when some heart replacements have been replaced with pig hearts and so on and so forth... if we could have replaced it with ape parts, then we would have, that's just how science is....

now, that doesn't mean that anyone should try breeding with a pig...... :P

good luck finding the answer that you're looking for,,,, there's been tons of people that have spent their entire lives searching for that answer.......

Evolutionists will tell you that would be the 'missing link', as yet an unproven theory and the very idea being alittle backwards to me. Hybrid implies a mixture wherein 2 species come together to form another fairly distinct species. Wh evolutionists claim is not that. There would have had to be a common ancestor for both for there to be a hybrid..

I don' t know that we are 99% the same, then that 1% sure does make a difference between us. Apes will never talk for example, their brains aren't built for it. They will never reason beyond what tastes good and where to find it and taking semi-care of their offspring. They will never be able to develop the fine motor skills needed to work and tinker as we do.
1% in that case - is huge.

At this point, I think that scientifically there is more in common between human dna and that of a pig. Chromosome count is another thing altogether. Secular Scientists will not necessarity address this because it is so far contrary their evolution of ape/human theory.

No.

The commonality is not 99% but more like 94%. That difference is enough to make interbreeding impossible ... and has been for a long long time before what we now call "humans" (Homo sapiens) and our nearest ape relatives (Pan paniscus ... chimps) walked the planet. The common ancestor between the two branches existed about 6 million years ago, and it is possible that the two branches continued to interbreed for a while after the branching. But these hybrid bloodlines died off at some point and the two branches have gone their separate ways ever since.

All humans are the same species and we cannot interbreed with other species to produce any hybrids. Human evolution is not well understood as the fossil record is very incomplete at this time, but there is certainly a possibility of hybrids between different primates in the past including lines that led to us.

If the occasional chimp has 47 chromosomes and the occasional human has 47; wonder if it is possible under these unique conditions??
Supposedly back in the 1950s there was a Mule at stud in Texas that parented offspring from Mares. This breeding was only viable a few times and the offspring were not able to reproduce.

One separate question emerges---can ALL present human races from all over the world if breeding took place-- produce offspring?

The term hybrid sort of implies that they were previously distinct and made one.

If we combined a human with an ape now, it would be a hybrid, but the fact that we both seem to share a common ancestor is the OPPOSITE of a hybrid.

No and your wrong about the %. There is a DNA of the monkey and man which is only 94%. To be a complete match it must be greater then that. So with the DNA of 94% this means it is not a match. In other words, monkeys and man are not related. They are a species all of their own.

There are some half human, half ape hybrids...

there is no facts or proof that man comes from ape. your stats are wrong also. man is only about 88.6% the same as ape. man's dna is actually closer to that of a pig than an ape.

explain that one.

plus there are zero fossils to show or prove that ape turned into man. for one...if that happened...why are there still apes on this earth? and if you claim that "emily" is the link....read up on her again as she now seperates man from ape almost 4 times more than they were linked prior to her finding.

man was put here, flat up....we did not grow or alter our way up from apes or any other animal.
