Can a human being get a monkey pregnant?

Question

Or a gorilla, or any kind of primate? What would the child be like?

Answer 1

No.

Gorrillas and monkeys are a different species than human. The main thing that makes a species different from another species is the inability to produce viable offspring.

Answer 2

Um... this is odd but okay! Yes, a human can get a monkey pregnant! The child may odviously be in some way half of the mother and half of the father like humans! It would probably vary from parents to parents! I have no idea why anyone would want to get a primate pregnant, but ok!

Answer 3

eww, but lets talk seriously for a secong.
1) mechanical isolation wold prevent this, due to the differences in genitalia.
2) Should the gametes fuse (which is practically impossible as the enzymes produces by the sperm of one species can not penetrate the zona pellucida of another) the gametes contain less than the minimum diploid number of one of the species, so that the human half doesnt surive nor the simon.
3) dont u dare try this, because thats how HIV first reached mankind!! blood transfusions with mpnkeys as well as organ transplants, so watch out!!

Answer 4

No, one of the definitions of a species is that it cannot interbreed with other species to produce fertile offspring, and humans are distinctly different species to the other primates. It's been suggested Homo sapiens could have interbred with Neanderthals back in prehistoric times, but today we are definitely reproductively isolated as a result of genetic differences.

Answer 5

Russian biologist Ilya Ivanovich Ivanov is known to have unsuccessfully tried to create a human-chimpanzee hybrid in the early XX century by artificially inseminating female chimpanzees with human semen.
During the 70s it was claimed that a chimpanzee named Oliver was really a human-chimpanzee hybrid or a humanzee, however later DNA testing disproved this hypothesis.

Answer 6

Generally, the definition of a species is "an interbreeding unit
capable of producing viable offspring",with some exceptions
(like lion X tiger, horse X donkey, more) . Don't believe that this would work biologically due to the difference in chromosome number and make-up, no zygote would form.

Answer 7

It's not known, at least not in our part of the world, for sure. But I'd bet my bottom dollar that this experiment has been done somewhere in the world at some time, and that the answer is probably no -- because if it were yes we would at least have unsubstantiated legends about it.

Answer 8

Not naturally.
Scientists in England have been givin permission to make embroys of part animal part human but they are not aloud implant them, which is unfortunate as I think a lot of people would love to see what they'd look like.

Answer 9

inability of two different species to mate together is one of the qualifying factors that make two different species just that, two different species. humans and monkeys may be related evolutionarily, but they are far enough apart that a baby gorilluman would not work, or if it did, it would not survive.
two closely related species, horses and donkeys, can mate, but they are just far enough apart that their offspring is a mule, and mules arent fertile, which means mules cant mate with other mules to make baby mules.

Answer 10

probably but i dont think any human would want to have sex with a monkey or a gorilla
