Ok, I am not supporting bestiality here. But, I just came to know about a Dogxim, a dog fox hybrid and I had known for a long time that horses and donkeys can breed (to produce a mule). So, I was just curious, can humans breed with any other animals closely related to us?

    Yeah, but not their whole genome, and never at more then a few percent of the total modern human genome. It’s more like a remnant.

      How could it be less than their whole genome? Is more neanderthal dna lost than homo sapiens dna when the two mate somehow?
