The '''humanzee''' (sometimes '''chuman''', '''manpanzee''' or '''chumanzee''') is a hypothetical [[Hybrid (biology)|hybrid]] of [[chimpanzee]] and [[human]], thus a form of [[human–animal hybrid]]. Serious attempts to create such a hybrid were made by [[Soviet Union|Soviet]] biologist [[Ilya Ivanov|Ilya Ivanovich Ivanov]] in the 1920s,<ref>{{cite web |last1=Pain |first1=Stephanie |title=The Soviet Ape-Man Scandal |url=https://www.newscientist.com/article/mg19926701-000-blasts-from-the-past-the-soviet-ape-man-scandal/ |website=The New Scientist |access-date=22 May 2024}}</ref> and possibly by researchers in [[China]] in the 1960s, though neither succeeded.
