Several years ago, I was told of a study where a sperm and egg were
put together from a human and an ape, a gorilla, I think, because of
the same number of chromosomes. A zygote did result, and was allowed
to develop to blastula stage, at which point, it was destroyed. It
was reported in one of the journals, perhaps Science, but
unfortunately, I have never seen the original piece. Maybe someone
who is familiar with this study, or any similar ones, can comment with
more detail.
