Editing Humanzee (section)

==Etymology==
The [[portmanteau]] ''humanzee'' for a human–chimpanzee hybrid appears to have entered usage in the 1980s.<ref>"If the Chinese succeed in their present attempts with artificial insemination to crossbreed a human being with a chimpanzee, producing the novel and useful 'humanzee,' it would be arguably patentable matter".  The portmanteau is older, dating to the 1920s, but then did not refer to a hybrid but to a "human-like" chimpanzee, trained to wear clothes etc.; cf. "Snooky the Humanzee", a [[Animals in film and television#Chimpanzees|chimpanzee actor]] in the 1920s.
