Humans Emerged From Male Pig And Female Chimp, World’s Top Geneticist Says
LONDON: Humans are actually hybrids, who emerged as an offspring of a male pig and a female chimpanzee, according to one of the world’s leading geneticist.
Turning the theory of human ancestry on its head, Dr Eugene McCarthy — one of the world’s leading authorities on hybridization in animals from the University of Georgia has suggested that humans didn’t evolve from just apes but was a backcross hybrid of a chimpanzee and pigs.
His hypothesis is based on the fact that though humans have many features in common with chimps, there are a lot more that don’t correspond to any other primates. He then suggests that there is only one animal in the animal kingdom that has all of the traits which distinguish humans from our primate cousins.
“What is this other animal that has all these traits? The answer is Sus scrofa – the ordinary pig” he says.
He explains: “Genetically, we’re close to chimpanzees, and yet we have many physical traits that distinguish us from chimpanzees. One fact, however, suggests the need for an open mind: as it turns out, many features that distinguish humans from chimpanzees also distinguish them from all other primates. Features found in human beings, but not in other primates, cannot be accounted for by hybridization of a primate with some other primate. If hybridization is to explain such features, the cross will have to be between a chimpanzee and a non-primate – an unusual, distant cross to create an unusual creature.”
Dr McCarthy suggests that Charles Darwin told only half the story of human evolution.
“We believe that humans are related to chimpanzees because humans share so many traits with chimpanzees. Is it not rational then also, if pigs have all the traits that distinguish humans from other primates, to suppose that humans are also related to pigs? Let us take it as our hypothesis, then, that humans are the product of ancient hybridization between pig and chimpanzee,” he said.
According to Dr McCarthy, if we compare humans with non-mammals or invertebrates like the crocodile, bullfrog, octopus, dragonfly and starfish, pigs and chimpanzees suddenly seem quite similar to humans.
Long Pork!
Eeww
Cannibalism … I love bacon.
Junk science.
would be waaaay more believable if’n it was switched around..
No … That’s all wrong … Everybody knows it was a dodo bird and a moose
I thought it was the Do Do Bird and Bigfoot?!?!?!
This is not science, neither is Darwinian evolurion. Not one word of this is based on facts, all pulled from human imagination, the same with this crap. Human bodies like all biology are just another form of advanced tehcnology. In order to craps this idea you need to raise your level of thinking a few thousand years. To do that you also have to open your mind beyond the limits you’ve been told. There is a reason why, they don’t want you thinking beyond a specific point of undestanding.
lol
This might not be such a stretch, considering the Black Friday shoppers.
Although his hypothesis is highly implausible for human existence, it’s the best explanation for the Knockout game I’ve heard so far.
He’s only saying out loud what we’ve all suspected since becoming adults.
Basically, we’re all animals and enjoy f-ing each other….
What an idiotic theory. Read the article linked if you have a background in evolutionary biology. Consider that his premise is that chimps hybridized with pigs and that because of this unusual mixture of genes, humans still show signs of low fertility, which he says means that our early ancestors after this hybridization would have suffered from very high rates of sterility. Well, the premise that we’ve had SIX MILLION years to recover from this interspecies-induced sterility doesn’t pass the laugh test because our relatively fewer in number, much more genetically incompatible with itself alleged pig-chimp hybrid forefathers would never have been able to increase their numbers in the first place.
Six million is a very interesting number. It has been used as a marketing term for about a century by one particular RACE.
the scientist that said that probably did but my ancestry came from ADAM and EVE ,lol
This is about as sound a theory as deciding that the entire Universe actually exists in a microscopic scale & exists because a giant caterpillar farted it out.
So, where in this theory does it show where the chimp or the pig has four separate operating systems to it’s brain that work in harmony to provide thought while keeping its body alive?
Where in this theory does it tell me whether it was the chimp or the pig that has 7 unique frequency emissions within it’s body that let out the same frequencies as 7 specific places on this planet (that also happened to be ridiculously rich gold mines)?
And which one is it that decides to lord over & subjugate the others of its own species, the tree hopping #### thrower or the one that loves to roll in #### and eat the equivalent of it?
More importantly, who dictated this man worthy of a Doctorate degree? My lawn chair needs a diploma too so I can nickname it McCarthy and say some “Dr. it’s time to alleviate my tension”, every time I should decide to go out and enjoy the weather while smoking (two more things I don’t see either of those creatures doing.
Best laugh I’ve had all week….but so true!
I always had a suspicion that that is why it isn’t kosher to eat pork. Makes you think. Yahweh knew.
Oh this makes me mad in so many ways, likely true then
