Obviously a first rate hoax.  Chimps are not 1/2 human.

Didn’t have time tonight to watch all 6 parts of the documentary.  I’ll watch the rest tomorrow evening.  But for now, my thoughts are this: 1)I don’t think the chimp himself is a hoax.  And 2)I agree, chimps are not half human; however, this particular chimp appears to have some human-type behaviors and adaptations/mutations.

I’m reserving further comments until I watch the rest of the video and find some more information.

Is this the same chimp they tried to have a court say was human for some rights about something?

If so, that news story (and subsequent story about the denial by the court) is posted on the forum somewhere.  But it’s late, I’m tired, and should be in bed so I’m not going to look for it or watch the video right now to see.

Oliver, the Humanzee or, perhaps, the Chiman.

Well of course not. Genetically, they more than 95% human. It’s bananas that are half human.

In this section (5:53), they mention that a Japanese actress volunteered to mate with this thing on camera.  But it was a HOAX!  (Thankfully, just a hoax).

But none-the-less, it’s a heck of a way to advance your career.

How is that any different than agreeing to do a scene with Bruce Willis?

i was going to say Harvey Keitel, but Bruce Willis works too.
