>Male monkeys have brought kids to term.

That is fake news from a convicted fraudster. It was claimed but never supported by evidence [0].

"Fertility clinician Cecil Jacobson claimed to have transplanted a fertilized egg from a female baboon to the omentum in the abdominal cavity of a male baboon in the mid-1960s, which then carried the fetus for four months; however, Jacobson did not publish his claims in a scientific journal, and was subsequently convicted on several unrelated counts of fraud for ethical misconduct."

Probably not


Why just repost my sourced link?


It's not the same link. It removes the "m." so it doesn't bring up the mobile interface.


>Why just repost my sourced link?

I didn't.

As Cyphase said [0], I posted the non-mobile link which many people -- including myself -- appreciate.
