[Taxacom] hominid challenge

[John Grehan]

Evgeniy - Couldn't help what?

It was quite funny to notice that the interviewer, in trying to make
some coarse humor about whether viable offspring could occur with human
and orangutan mating, failed to realize that male orangutans can and
have successfully (from the orangutan point of view) forced their
attentions on human females, and while female orangutans have not, it
has not been for the lack of trying.
