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?

Is 8chan still a thing? Honestly I like the concept of image boards and thought it was cool of 8chan to allow you to make your own boards. But of course image boards attract the worst

As other commenters point out, not since the extinctionof Neanderthals, Denisovans, etc. But even if it were possible, the hybrid would not be fertile: our chromosome 2 is a fusion of two chromosomes that are separate in other related species, so there's no way meiotic crossover recombination could possibly work.

You're short a comma. It's the American Ghost Comma right after 'humans'.

Remember that Rogers Telecom paid out a million bucks because it couldn't write a clear sentence.
