I know that human/priumate embryos have been created, but for obvious reasons, all were destroyed shortly after. Of course in many cases the lines drawn between one ’species’ and the next are vanity lines.

That’s a great story. Here’s some more info about humanzees, along with an alleged photo.

I remember hearing rumors about an actual “humanzee” that was created in a research lab in Florida in the 1950s in a very “hush hush” experiment. Supposedly, a researcher injected his own sperm into a female chimp in the lab, and she not only conceived but actually carried the hybrid almost full-term. I’m not sure if it was shortly before or shortly after its birth, but the hybrid was eventually euthenized because of the ethical implications.

I think I heard about this as an afterthought on a Discovery Channel special about Oliver… the famous “humanzee” that after genetic testing turned out to be just a weird kind of chimp. They interviewed some people from the lab who swore it happened, but there was obviously no good evidence.

manifestations of non-physical beings revealed to shamans while in trance.

Makes the most sense to me out of anything…

Graham Hancock makes a cogent arguement for the origin of therianthropes in his book 'Supernatural' In his book, he builds on David Lewis-Williams's Neurophysical theory, which suggests that they were manifestations of non-physical beings revealed to shamans while in trance.

Therianthropes would be the correct spelling. “Teriantrops” reads to me like someone transliterated the word into Russian, then it got restored to English by someone who didn’t know what the word was.

Could drawings of Centaurs be the interpretation of the artist who saw a man riding the back of a horse? It would depend on the perspective of the artist and how well they saw the ‘Centaur’. Mongolian horseriders are some of the best in the world and they travelled all over the place, being nomads.

When I was young I drew pictures of people with arms coming out of their heads where their ears should be. No such people exist that I know of, but that was my perspective, seeing tall people stoop over to pick me up looks like they have arms growing out of the side of their head.

That said, Centaurs may possibly exist in another world or whatever, I saw a friggin Satyr in a dream.

Cool article. (Your link is messed up but I was able to get around it.) The last sentence is hilarious, “that researchers have no whole centaur skeletons but lots of upper and lower parts of centaurs skeletons.”

According to science, it’s impossible for different species to breed, but there have been science-defying anomalies. Charles Fort wrote about a cow that gave tirth to two lambs and a calf:
