I understand that it is only the great apes including ourselves that have
the sperm dna on the y so you need the matching x to cover that. So we could
maybe hybridise(well I bet some lab has done it already) with an Orangutang,
but not at all possible with a monkey who has his sperm dna out on the
ordinary chromosomes.

Would say his comment didn't apply to Fish or Crocodiles- some of whom can
flip sex. Though I think I read birds have a version of the nutty Great Ape
system

Mind you maybe you should ask an expert and not a raving lunatic.

"The genes that are a barrier to speciation tend to be on the
X-chromosome," said David Reich, the main author of the study.



Anyone care to expand on this statement?
