The genetic makeup of a 12-year-old
Angolan boy is now disputed by experts after his deceased mother
allegedly told him on the deathbed that he is the offspring of a
human-chimpanzee love affair, the Gazeta Nacional has reported.
The story made national headlines and has
unleashed an outpour of generosity towards Augusto Dembo, 12, who now
lives with his uncle and aunt in the capital city of Luanda.
Although the young boy has become an
instant 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.
Angola President João Lourenço has already
nicknamed the boy the “Angolan Miracle Child” as well as praising the
young man as a “mational 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,” said the current Minister of
Science and Technology, Maria Cândida Teixeira.
A spokesperson from the Parc national de
Cameia commented on the news by saying that the park’s management
sincerely regret the loss of Anita Dembo, frowning at “any inappropriate
or sexual acts with any animals in the park.”
Any sexual interaction between employees
or visitors of the park with animals is not encouraged behavior under
current park guidelines,” a spokesman for Parc national de Cameia told
reporters.
The child’s mother, Anita Dembo, allegedly
entertained an affair with a chimpanzee that endured for many years
during her employment at the Parc national de Cameia where she has
worked as a conservation officer.
