It's totally possible.

Indeed. You often see late adolescent / early adult examples outside nightclubs early on Saturday and Sunday mornings. Their natural habitat, I suspect. Although perhaps they're more part gorilla than chimp.
It's only possible if one can find a human willing to do it with a chimpanzee and someone to distract animal rights activists.
Ew I do not want to picture that!
Human beings (Homo sapiens) have 46 pairs of chromosomes (44 autosomal and 2 sex).
Chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes) have 48 pairs of chromosomes (46 autosomal and 2 sex).
The difference falls in the human chromosome #2, which is the equivalent to the great ape family (chimps, bonobos, gorillas, orangutans) chromosomes #2A and #2B
That presents a seemingly insurmountable barrier to cross-species fertilization.

I think they are the remaining Neanderthals.
If this insults any Neanderthals on this site I apologise.
Homo neanderthalensis
-or-
Homo sapiens neanderthalensis ?
That is the question.
Neandeerthal DNA does not appears in any human haplotypes.
As for the Humanized apes, they already walk around us, they were created by the Illuminati under direction of the scientologiest.
Neanderthal genes 'survive in us' (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/8660940.stm)
Many people alive today possess some Neanderthal ancestry, according to a landmark scientific study.
The finding has surprised many experts, as previous genetic evidence suggested the Neanderthals made little or no contribution to our inheritance.
The result comes from analysis of the Neanderthal genome - the "instruction manual" describing how these ancient humans were put together.
Between 1% and 4% of the Eurasian human genome seems to come from Neanderthals.
But the study confirms living humans overwhelmingly trace their ancestry to a small population of Africans who later spread out across the world.
There's no controversy in classifying "Neanderthal" as part of the Homo (human) genus. The question of whether they were a different species, or simply a subspecies, depends on whether they were capable of breeding with H sapiens.
If you believe the process of speciation is the result, at least in part, of geographic isolation from the main population, then it would make sense that Neanderthals were a separate species. However, the data studied in the report, above, suggests that the ability to interbreed did not completely cease.
So Jean Auel's Clan of the Cave Bear is not a totally farfetched.
But back to the OP's hypothesis. If species H sapiens and H neanderthal has difficulty producing offspring, think of the problems between different genera.

Hi, Jamie D
Do you have a reference to a peer-review journal to verify this story? I could not found a single Paabo's papers stating that theur evidence indicates a mixing with humans.

Here is the link to the journal,
Science, mentioned in the article above
http://www.sciencemag.org/site/special/neandertal/ (http://www.sciencemag.org/site/special/neandertal/)
A couple of the papers in the journal can be viewed online for free.
I find the field genome research fascinating. How about you?
I thought that it is pretty known that Neanderthal genes are alive and well in certain parts of the world. I am one of the carriers of it, and I am glad because research show that they where alot more intelligent than we give them credit for.
There is so much that we do not know about our origin and it is kind of sad that many are afraid to find out about our origins.. Because today people seem to hate diversity, we all shall be the same and come from the same place etc which I think are holding us back when it comes to understanding our own history. The same applies to historians because they do not like to think with a open mind, instead they are trying to fit findings into their own theory.

I read somewhere that Neanderthals carried the "ginger gene."
