Scientist Claims Humans Successfully Conceived A "Humanzee" But History Suggests Otherwise

This week, Gordan Gallup, an evolutionary psychologist from the University of Albany, New York, made an extraordinary claim: scientists in the 1920s successfully conceived a Frankenstein's monster-like human-chimp hybrid (or "humanzee") in a Florida lab before getting cold feet and destroying their creation in a moment of panic.

Of course, there isn't a shred of evidence to back up his claim and let's just say that this isn't the first time Gallup has come up with somewhat questionable science. In 2012, he suggested blowjobs as a cure for morning sickness.
