With the debate about if the Neanderthals and human interbred, I asked myself, what about human and apes, we are close but we never find any history or story about that. This tell me that it is not likely.

Yes. Humans and primates are all capable of intro-reproduction. The only thing keeping such reproduction from occurring is morality. More closely tied to your question would be the example of Oliver, for some time he was thought to be a human-chimp breed (Humanzee), but was not. Anyway he, at the age of 16 actually mounted, raped if you will, his female owner. The answer to the question is a disturbing yes. Oh and by the way such attraction works in all possible combinations, unfortunately.

Will a female ape be attracted to a human male? How silly!

The reproductive drive in apes is triggered by estrus in the females. This does not happen in human females any more so no, an ape would not be attracted. We smell wrong to them.

" Attractive? I do not know if that would be the word I would use, but apes have occasionally " raped " human women.
