Ok, I am not supporting bestiality here. But, I just came to know about a Dogxim, a dog fox hybrid and I had known for a long time that horses and donkeys can breed (to produce a mule). So, I was just curious, can humans breed with any other animals closely related to us?

There's a documentary called Revenge of "Billy the Kid" that doesn't go into too much detail, but might answer your question.

No.

The biological definition of a species is β€œa group of organisms that can interbreed and produce fertile offspring” (in other words, the offspring need to also be able to reproduce; there are instances, such as mules, where two species reproduce but the offspring cannot themselves reproduce)

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 days ago

I don't think that definition matters, considering the fertility of offspring is irrelevant to OP's question.

Why else would I ask that question? Completely unrelated but you won't happen to have any goats nearby, would you?

Homo sapiens are the last remaining species of hominina. Our closest remaining relatives, the Pan (chimpanzees and bonobos) diverged at least 6.5 million years ago. Though there is some evidence early hominina may have interbred with pan after the divergence as recently as 4 mya.

This is more recent than dogs and foxes by a long way, and about the same as donkeys and horses. That, plus chromosomal analysis and some other research suggests it could be possible for a human and chimp or bonobo to interbreed, though likely not create fertile offspring. However, there has never been a confirmed case of this occurring, despite multiple claims.

Edit: useful articles:

Pretty sure that we can't breed with chimps and generate a fertile offspring due the mismatch on the number of chromosomes.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 days ago

Yeah fertile offspring is almost entirely off the table here from what I can see.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 days ago

Doesn't HIV come from chimps too? Not knowing too much about it, I would imagine that presents some challenges.

So after reading the wiki, I believe the most likely successful attempt will be to mate a human with downe syndrome, with a chimpanzee. Let's get on this. I wanna see some atrocities of nature.

There must have been a misunderstanding, when I said I want to "eat pussy", this is not what I meant

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 days ago

I thought you meant in the "eating the dogs and eating the cats" sense :3 /s

I just found this, so you'll have to read it too: https://www.the-sun.com/news/3657105/prostitute-orangutan-pony-tragic-story/

Summary:

TW: sexual animal abuseFemale orangutan named Pony was used as a prostitute for years. She was chained to a bed, shaved every other day leaving her with irritated, itchy, sore-covered skin. They also put make-up, perfume and jewellery on her, and taught her to perform sex acts. The local community didn't want to let her go because she was generating great revenue. In the end it took 35 armed police officers to rescue her.

Breed with? No, not since we out-bred and out-competed Neandertals. And Denisovans. And at least one other ancestral human subspecies in sub-Saharan Africa. So at least 3 ancient homo sapiens subspecies that we used to interbreed with, but none left now.

We still have their genes, so we've got that going for us...

There used to be Neanderthals (homo sapiens neanderthalensis) and a few others, we basically interbred them out of existence.

Now that I'm middle aged... How old is ~~Steve~~ Jaleel in this clip? I've seen so much of his face that I can't tell if he's 15 or 25.

Note: how have I never known his name is Jaleel White?

Note 2: Family Matters aired from when he was 13 to 22 years old. So... That's my answer.
