Scientist claims human-chimpanzee hybrid born in Florida lab century ago

This story was heavily flagged, but unless I'm missing something, the content is solid. It's an interview with a major scientist. The tabloid site isn't great, of course, but that's not how we evaluate articles here I'm going to turn off the flags.

All: if you comment on a sensational story like this, please take extra care to make your comment substantive.

It would be good to have other sources for this claim.

Claiming something happened 100 years ago and hasn't surfaced till now is a tricky claim to substantiate, and certainly needs more than what this article presents which really amounts to not much more than hearsay.
