Did chimpanzees and humans once interbred?
Massachusetts. Reich and his colleagues compared the genomes of humans, chimps and gorillas using a "molecular clock" to estimate how long ago the three groups diverged. The further back two species diverged ... this is only a plausible hypothesis, not a proven fact.
