If you are still and Ape can you impregnate one or can one impregnate you?

I do believe that using the argument like dogs the different breeds came about from the mixing of different breeds any dog can impregnate another dog.

So can you or can you be impregnated by an Ape?

If not then the link on your post is false.

So using the example of dogs and apes does not hold water it is a false argument.

Your argument is based on a false presumption: That "ape" is a species designation. It is not.

It is a name for a larger grouping of diverse animals, like the name "bird". Just as not all birds can interbreed, not all apes can interbreed. And yet, this doesn't mean that a penguin is not a bird just because it can't impregnate a swan, nor does this mean that humans aren't apes just because they can't impregnate orangutans.

There are reports that someone artificially inseminated a female chimpanzee with human sperm in the early 1900's, resulting in the live birth of a hybrid infant, but this is uncorrobated. It's possible that humans and chimpanzees could produce live young on occasion. There's a slight chromosome number difference to overcome--48 instead of 46 for chimps. However, no one's about to try this experiment for ethical reasons.

Your dog analogy is only useful for comparing to the existence of different races among humans since it involves interbreeding among members of the same species.

You can impregnate humans, but you can't impregnate other apes, just as gorillas, chimpanzees, bonobos and orang utans are themselves each reproductively isolated communities. They are seperate species, but all are apes.
