    He should have stuck to more sensible experiments, like Comrade Lysenko who tried to teach communism to trees.

    The article specifically says he did not get to try ape sperm on human women. I know it takes away some of the shock value of your post.

      It does say he was trying that too

      In 1929, after returning to the Soviet Union, he attempted to organize a set of experiments involving nonhuman ape sperm and human volunteers but was delayed by the death of his last orangutan.

      Technically OP is grammatically correct…

      The expirement failed because his orangutan died before he could get a sperm sample

      Like, I’ve failed at my attempt at being the winning QB in the Super Bowl. Doesn’t mean I lost a Super Bowl as QB

      Like the attempt at doing it failed, it just failed before the first step was even taken.

      Definitely confusing tho and you were right to clarify. I’m just being a nerd about it

        Ha fair point. I’d argue though that if you never, say, took the steps of getting to the NFL then you didn’t make an “attempt.”

        But yeah, in your analogy it’s more like his team didn’t make it to the playoffs.

    The local cryptid in my home town was the “Humanzee” reported to have been created at the “secret lab” of a Yale psychologist/primatologist/eugenicist.
