   A species of hybrids between what and what? Two different extinct   
   species of ancestral great ape? Two different extinct species of our   
   genus Homo? If either, why think this?   
      
   If you perhaps mean hybrids between our apey earthly ancestors and   
   amorous space aliens or angels, well that would require a rather   
   more uncommon form of "knowledge".

   Not at all. Species known to be of hybrid origin are already   
   commonplace. It's one common form of new species formation,   
   especially among plants. Of  course none of them involve crosses   
   with aliens from outer space, so far as we know...   
      
   Our familiar garden flowers and crop plants are full of forms   
   derived from artificial hybrids between species.

   Is it... Luther Burbank?
