Worse Than I Feared

Via Matt Y. comes news of an emerging Humanzee Menace. As reported yesterday, the coming of the Ape/Robot alliance has been proceeding apace, but according to Dr Calum MacKellar, director of research at the Scottish Council on Human Bioethics "if a female chimpanzee was inseminated with human sperm the two species would be closely enough related that a hybrid could be born." Now that Charleton Heston is dead, the floodgates have truly opened.

Oddly, this was attempted in the USSR under Joseph Stalin's regime in an attempt to create a "super soldier." In 1926, "Professor Ilya Ivanov, was ordered to turn his skills to the quest for an ultimate soldier by crossing humans with apes."

Also, there's concrete proof that the apes and robots are already begun to collaborate, see this, from January of this year.
