I would think so. Polar and Grizzly bears can hybridize. Dolphin and whale. A zebra and a horse can too, which are suppose to be even more different (Genetically) than a human and a human.
Some people say that this has already been done but in secret. If possible it would cause a very interesting debate! It would be hard to say we didn't evolve from some kind of common ancestor if we could hybridize with them.
They can combine bacteria dna with plants and animals. We can use a pigs organ as if it were our own - the possibilities are endless. I think what I just mentioned are a lot more far fetched than a humanzee hybrid and they have already been done!
Although a lot of people would think it's a "bad" thing to do. I would want to see what happens! It could either come out totally human, or totally ape, or something in between. Maybe this explains the huge leaps in evolution - different versions of species kept hybridizing?? It's interesting to notice that when two similar species hybridize it's the positive traits that get passed along more. Or else the baby wouldn't be able to grow up and reproduce itself.

i might want to sense so. Polar and Grizzly bears can hybridize. Dolphin and whale. A zebra and a horse can too, that are imagine to be a lot more beneficial diverse (Genetically) than a human and a human. some individuals say that this has already been done although in secret. If possible it might want to reason an overly eye-catching debate! it may well be complicated to point we did not evolve from some type of regularly occurring ancestor if we would hybridize with them. they could blend bacteria dna with plants and animals. we may be able to apply a pigs organ as even though it were our own - the possibilities are intense endless. i think what I basically suggested are plenty more beneficial far fetched than a humanzee hybrid and they have were given already been done! inspite of the actual shown actuality that various people might want to sense that's a "undesirable" aspect to do. i might want to prefer to look what occurs! it would both come out totally human, or totally ape, or some difficulty in between. possibly this explains the tremendous leaps in evolution - diverse fashions of species kept hybridizing?? this is eye-catching to locate that once 2 equivalent species hybridize this is the constructive advancements that get handed alongside more beneficial. otherwise the youngster does no longer be useful to advance up and reproduce itself.

For a serious answer: Despite sharing 99% of our DNA its impossible since chimps (and all great apes) have 24 chromosome pairs and we only have 23. And even if it were genetically possible there is a whole group of ethical questions.

Of course. The less intelligent majority re-elected one in 2004.

Geolicious is right, it is not possible because of a difference in chromosome numbers.

No. even though we are very closely related, they are still a different specie.

Gosh, I sure hope not because many would go ape over that idea.
