Here are a couple of links to articles I found that you might be interested in. It looks like chimpanzees may be more predatory than one would think. They also hunt for reasons other than food. Both articles are written by the same guy, so sorry if there is a ton of overlap. Hope these interest you and help you come up with some answers, and hopefully more questions.
I’m going to turn you into a biologist yet 
Chimpanzee hunting and Behavior and Human Evolution
The Predatory Behavior and Ecology of Wild Chimpanzees
This next article talks about where Oliver came from. Just read the part about Oliver the chimp and ignore the rest. I know that Oliver is an actual chimp with strange habits. However, I am unsure as to whether or not the “ape-woman” was real 
A brief lesson in biology:
You might be interested to know where the term Humanzee came from. It’s like Chuman, but slightly different. 
Basically, it’s like the liger and tiglin (yes, these are real hybrids). The naming schema used is the following: first part of sire’s name + second part of dam’s name . A Chuman is thus a male chimpanzee crossed with a female human. Therefore, a Humanzee or Manpanzee (nope, I’m really not making this up!), is a male human crossed with a female chimpanzee.
For more information on Oliver or the Manpanzee (I think that one is my favorite!), please follow the link below.
Oh how I love Wikipedia
Well, there you have it folks. I finally posted…sort of. There were still lots of links involved, but, I have to wean myself off of them…slowly, very slowly. Hope you enjoyed today’s biology lesson. Stayed tune for more on the wonderful, mysterious world of biology

A chuman would not be considered a missing link in an evolutionary sense. Breeding two present day species together to form a new one would not be a missing link from millions of years ago. (Remember, Chimpanzees are our closest living relatives not the species we evolved from. The two lines split off a theorized five million years ago from an common ape anscestor.)
Anyway, I love how excited you are about science which is why I’m loving your site so don’t take my corrections wrong. You think outside the box and that is an excellent trait.
No offense taken. However, thanks for pointing that out. I guess I wasn’t really paying much attention to the title I chose. Poor wording I suppose. Anyway, thanks for clearing that up for any other readers who may be reading the site
It’s funny after I read this Humanzee was on Discovery. They determined that Oliver was just a chimpanzee but was genetically different from the normal population. They think an undiscovered small population.
They also had Ligers which are Tigers and Lions breed together. They can’t reproduce though so they can only be done in captivity.
Have you heard of the tiglons? My family and I were playing a trivia game and a question about this cross came up. It is also a tiger and a lion bred together, with the difference being that the lion was female and the tiger male. It is switched in the case of a liger. I’m not sure if it could reproduce though. More than likely not since a Liger can’t.
Anyway, I’m not so sure what the point of breeding tigers and lions together is though. It just seems unnatural. What do you think?
It is kind of unnatural but we do it to create mules all the time. Mainly it’s just something creative humans have been doing since the beginning of time.
Now talk about crazy breeding you should check out the plant world. You know a real guy actually breed tomacco?
True, we do create mules, however, they have a purpose. They were/are used as work animals. I do not see a purpose in having a tiglon or a liger around. I don’t have a problem with mules, or even tiglons or ligers, I just fail to see how some crosses are useful. Sometimes I think people just get too bored.
Tomacco? I must admit, I’ve not heard of this one. I’m afraid I’ve already gotten it figured out, but I have to ask, what exactly is tomacco? Tomatoes you can smoke
I’m hoping I’m not right, but you can never tell with science 
Well Ligers and such are beautiful so I admit I’m smitten even with no use.
You’ve never seen the Simpsons episode where homer breeds tomacco? It’s tomatoes with nicotine in them. The guy who I believe got his inspiration from that episode said his tomacco’s had to much nicotine at the time and that one bite would be deally. I heard that a couple years ago so who knows, maybe he as them breed down to an edible and addictive breed.
I really should read my post twice before I submit. Sorry about the typos.
Eh, I am not so concerned with purpose. Sometimes it is worth doing something just to prove that it can be done. If we could breed manpanzees in the lab, then we could create a whole race of chimps with human-like intelligence! Think of all of the uses! I am sure that nothing horrible would happen…
Funny … I thought ligers were around to let stupid Gen Y movies have something goofy to use in quotes …
