Damn good point! If a small space ship containing a few male creatures who
for what ever reason are found to be able to father super-human children by
hooking up with earth girls ...

Hey; I just remembered a great movie like that: _Earth Girls Are Easy_
staring Geena Davis, Jeff Goldblum, and Jim Carrey. It is a must see.

But seriously, the existence of chimpan-mans would cause some problems for
some folk, especially if any of them were fertile and cross-bred a second
time with man. Would we still consider three quarter men chimps? We call
persons afro-American if they have any demonstrable trace of black in them.
How would religious folk explain such things? That may be worth seeing. ;:O)
