A dying Angolan mother named Anita Dembo has confessed on her deathbed that her 12-year-old son is the offspring of a human-chimpanzee love affair she had.
According to reports, the child’s mother allegedly entertained an affair with a chimpanzee that endured for many years during her employment at the Parc national de Cameia where she worked as a conservation officer since 1998.
Since the woman who is now dead made this revelation, the genetic makeup of the Angolan boy is being disputed by experts.
Although the young boy has become an instant famous celebrity, many experts dispute the claim that he is the product of the sexual intercourse between a human and a chimpanzee.
“Sexual relationships between humans and chimpanzees are fairly common in the region, but this is the first time a pregnancy is officially reported,” said Dr. António Mendes of the Hospital Municipal do Luena.
The boy has also been nicknamed the “Angolan Miracle Child” by Angola President João Lourenço.
The president also called him a “National treasure”, “a sign from God”, and a “testament to the majesty and greatness of the Republic of Angola.”
“This discovery could even challenge the basic foundations of modern science,” commented the current Minister of Science and Technology, Maria Cândida Teixeira.
A spokesperson from the Parc national de Cameia stated that they sincerely regret the loss of Anita Dembo but also condemned “any inappropriate or sexual acts with any animals in the park.”
