Synirr said:Even I don't know if all the ones I shipped last week are there... I know Angel Lady's 14 member crew made it, as well as slamster's and lljdma06's, but either the others haven't told me or I just forgot to write it down . So far the only package I know hasn't arrived yet is redbetta's, but she's from Canada so that's not surprising.
DaSauce89 -- About humanzees... Humans are the ones with 46 chromosomes and chimps have 48, and this difference in chromosome number probably makes hybridization between the two impossible. Mammals carry two copies of each chromosome, and when they are missing one member of a pair it is called monosomy; a condition which is not survivable in mammals unless the monosomy is in the sex chromosomes (It is possible to have just one X instead of XX or XY, and these individuals survive just fine but are sterile.) A human-chimp cross would be monosomic for that extra chromosome chimps carry, and while a living zygote might be produced it would almost certainly be spontaneously aborted long before birth. However, a human-chimp chimera might be possible. The chimera would carry both human and chimp cells rather than having the DNA of both species mixed within each individual cell . In labs, they have created rat-mouse chimeras that survived to adulthood, and China recently created the first human-rabbit chimeras, but they were all destroyed in the very early stages of development.
