Human evolution originated from forest apes . After a long evolution, humans finally became what we are now. Over the years, human society has developed rapidly and has mastered many biological codes. Some people try to master more secrets and try to make the human species the most noble species in the world. Many people have made many attempts. Some scientists have merged biological genes from different species in order to create some powerful creatures that can be used by humans.
There are actually successful examples of cross-species hybridization. For example, mule is actually the result of the cross between a male donkey and a female horse. Even though it is a hybrid species, it also contains parts of horses and donkeys. Mules are very resistant. Strong and relatively long life.
and has a relatively strong physique, making it a good helper for humans. Perhaps because of these successful examples, some scientists have taken up the idea of human beings, hoping to hybridize humans and chimpanzees to produce a human-like ape species and obtain a powerful ape army. He is - Ivanov.
Ivanov was born in Russia in 1870. He received a good education since he was a child and had excellent academic performance. For him, natural science has a great attraction for him. He is very curious about the content of natural science, especially It's the field of animal crossing.
Related content in this field attracted him and prompted him to do a lot of animal hybrid experiments. For example, zebra and donkey, antelope and bison, etc. are all cross-species hybrids. After the zebra and donkey are crossed, a species called " quagga " is obtained, which has some characteristics of zebra and donkey.
Perhaps it was the success of these hybrid experiments that gave Ivanov confidence in his cross-species hybrid experiments, so he moved towards his goal, which was human-ape hybridization. Why did Ivanov choose human-ape hybridization?
I think on the one hand it is because chimpanzees are very closely related to humans, and on the other hand it is also because the physical fitness of chimpanzees can make up for the physical deficiencies of humans. In fact, it was quite difficult for him to conduct cross-species hybrid experiments at that time. After all, not everyone could accept such a creature. Even from the perspective of today's humans, his idea was also very crazy.
After a series of efforts by Ivanov, the Soviet government at the time finally approved the plan and provided support. It seems that the Soviet government at the time also hoped to have such a powerful force with human intelligence and chimpanzee intelligence. Physical characteristics are ultimately used by oneself.
Ivanov became more confident after receiving support. He initially tried to transplant human ovaries into chimpanzees, and then let the chimpanzees receive human sperm cells and then culture them, but unfortunately, the experiment was not successful. .
For such a Frankenstein, failure can easily stop him. He changed a method and used chimpanzee sperm cells and human women to complete artificial insemination . He also recruited 5 female volunteers. It was difficult to imagine how they would accept such an experiment.
But who knows, just like that, Ivanov started his experiment. Unfortunately, there were not many chimpanzees left in the laboratory due to environmental problems. In desperation, Ivanov had no choice but to arrange chimpanzees in Africa for experiments.
In fact, there are many unknown experiments in the world, but due to ethical issues, they will not be made public for fear of being opposed by many people. Ivanov's hybridization experiment was destined to be unacceptable. In March 1930, the Soviet secret police arrested Ivanov, which forced the end of his hybridization experiment. More than a year later, Ivanov's hybridization experiment was Vanov died due to physical reasons, and his experiments on human hybridization were forgotten.
There is reproductive isolation between humans and chimpanzees. Cross-species hybridization requires certain conditions. This is also the reason why Ivanov's hybridization experiment failed. But if Ivanov really succeeds, it will cause an uproar around the world. Humans will be worried about their status and afraid that such creatures will threaten human existence.In fact, many such experiments are carried out secretly, but in any case, not everyone can accept such incredible experiments.
