A
Humanzee named
Oliver appeared on Japanese TV with fraudulent promotions picturing him as a miniature and hairy human being. Oliver's trip coincided with a concert promotion of the rock 'n roll group
The Monkees and he was presented on Japanese television shows with
Mickey Dolenz spouting inaccurate scientific observations.

It was claimed he was given genetic testing by the Japanese promoters. Some Japanese results, later proved false, held that Oliver had 47 chromosomes. Some anthropologists observing Oliver's head, nose, ears, and preference for bipedal walking asserted the possibility that the chimp was a hybrid.
Alas, it appears that this particular
Humanzee (also known as the
Chuman or
Manpanzee) was not the hybrid but just a chimp with a tendency to walk upright. The verdict is still out as to whether
Kelsey Grammer, Ed Asner or
Robin Williams are
Humanzees.
