This ran in the Guardian the other day:
Richard Dawkins: How would you feel about a half-human half-chimp hybrid?
Dawkins speculates about how a human-chimp hybrid or the discovery of a living Homo erectus would change the way we see the world.
Well. Give Dawkins credit for realizing that the existence of an ape-human hybrid would blow the judeo-christian worldview right out of the water, but I didn't just come up with the idea years ago, I nearly did something about it! Here was my response as a comment on the Guardian site:
Well, I did not do it. Where to get the chimpanzee sperm? And I wanted bonobo sperm, even harder to get. I wanted to breed myself a little matriarchal humanzee. What I did do, was write a novel about it. Please search out Primal Tears by Kelpie Wilson if you want to read it.
I've had praise for the novel from artists and writers like R. Crumb, Greg Bear, Kate Wilhelm, John Robbins and David Rains Wallace. More at my website www.kelpiewilson.com.
Enjoy!
