humanzee
The humanzee (''Homo sapiens sapiens'' × ''Pan troglodytes'') (also known as the Chuman or Manpanzee) is a hypothetical chimpanzee/human hybrid. Chimpanzees and humans are closely related (sharing 95% of their DNA sequence and 99% of coding DNA sequences〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Chimps are human, gene study implies )〕), leading to contested speculation that a hybrid is possible. However, such a human-animal hybrid has not actually existed outside of fictional works that have explored the concept.
==Terminology==
Geneticists generally use portmanteau words to describe hybrids, with the order of syllables indicating which parent is which. This is important because of genomic imprinting: genes are expressed differently depending on which parent contributed them. The names are formed according to the convention ''first part of sire's name'' + ''second part of dam's name,'' except where the result is unwieldy. For geneticists, "Chuman" therefore refers to a hybrid of male chimpanzee and female human, while "Humanzee" or "manpanzee" refers to a hybrid of male human and female chimpanzee〔(Naming Hybrid Big Cats ) from Messybeast.com accessed march 15, 2009〕 (''cf.'' tigon/liger). This distinction is not always followed in popular speech.
