Evolution? Survival of the Fittest? We get bigger, faster, stronger... and mature faster so we can reproduce quicker?

I am always surprised when people say something is impossible but i find it especially ironic when it happens on this forum. Why is it that some people are willing to make this claim when we still know so little about evolutionary biology and genetics?

Human DNA is NOT 99.99% accurate with Chimp DNA. That's a misconception due to an innacurate method of splicing genes and putting the Nucleotides back together. According to this method, the simplest prokaryote has 99% similar DNA to humans. The single biggest problem with the method is that it doesn't distinguish between our useless 90-98% DNA introns obtained via Viral infections and then transmitted throughout generations, and the "true" DNA used for translation and transcription.

Dude they tried artificial insemination NOT transgenics. It would probably be possible to create a hy-brid now or in the near future but during Stalins era it was quite impossible. They didn't even know the Genome existed back then :p

Some people think this ape named oliver (the one in pieman's link) is a Humanzee. He walks upright and is genetically different from any know chimp. There was a more recent blood test once they found Oliver again he was missing for a number of years, that seem to show he has 48 chromosomes rather then the earlier tested 47. The correct number for chimps but he had some weird variation in his genetic code that match up with no other chimp.

Perhaps growth hormones that are in Milk and meat products are causing this situation. 10 years is a blink of an eye when it comes to mans evolution and I think (correct me if Im wrong) that man-made chemicals or devices can screw up our natural evolution...maybe speeding it up.

I've read elsewhere that various Soviet dictators had dabbled in the methods/science of "Zombieification".
They believed that if they could turn their own citizens into an army of mindless cannibals in the event of a NATO invasion that the weak Western armies would run in fear, and that they could then easily come back and clean up their own mess.
They also dreamt of applying this same method of Zombieification, if I remember correctly was the bombardment of high levels of radiation and various chemicals on civilian populations, on the citizens of major US/European cities to throw them into disarray and then easily crush them with their own armed forces.

Wouldn't actually work. The apes are a different family and genus.
While you could cross different species, the chances of an ape and a human being able to produce offspring are about the same as crossbreeding an elephant and a skunk.
The great apes are members of the family Pongideae while humans are Hominidae.
