There's a documentary called Revenge of "Billy the Kid" that doesn't go into too much detail, but might answer your question.
No.
The biological definition of a species is βa group of organisms that can interbreed and produce fertile offspringβ (in other words, the offspring need to also be able to reproduce; there are instances, such as mules, where two species reproduce but the offspring cannot themselves reproduce)
I don't think that definition matters, considering the fertility of offspring is irrelevant to OP's question.
r/losercity leaking
Homo sapiens are the last remaining species of hominina. Our closest remaining relatives, the Pan (chimpanzees and bonobos) diverged at least 6.5 million years ago. Though there is some evidence early hominina may have interbred with pan after the divergence as recently as 4 mya.
This is more recent than dogs and foxes by a long way, and about the same as donkeys and horses. That, plus chromosomal analysis and some other research suggests it could be possible for a human and chimp or bonobo to interbreed, though likely not create fertile offspring. However, there has never been a confirmed case of this occurring, despite multiple claims.
Edit: useful articles:
Pretty sure that we can't breed with chimps and generate a fertile offspring due the mismatch on the number of chromosomes.
Yeah fertile offspring is almost entirely off the table here from what I can see.
Doesn't HIV come from chimps too? Not knowing too much about it, I would imagine that presents some challenges.
So after reading the wiki, I believe the most likely successful attempt will be to mate a human with downe syndrome, with a chimpanzee. Let's get on this. I wanna see some atrocities of nature.
