Topic: Humans descend from a hybridization of pigs and chimps! (rly srsly)

Posted under Off Topic

So, we didn't have enough batshit insane threads the last couple weeks and I just came across a winner.

The short version: a "leading" geneticist claims humans are the product of a hybridization between ancient pigs and chimps, because we share a couple behavioral patterns with each other.

Full Story here:

And in case you need proof why this is likely the dumbest thing you read today:

I want what that dude smoked.

He doesn't know how genetics works...

What makes this better is that this dude actually got a PhD in genetics.

I heard if you say pig balls three times in front of e621's homepage, he will return.

He always comes back.

Always.

But here’s the deal: maybe I’m completely wrong. This is an experiment that is easily and relatively cheaply done. Human sperm is easily obtained (McCarthy probably has a plentiful supply in his pants), while artificial insemination of swine is routine. Perhaps McCarthy can report back when he has actually done the work.

Well played.
