From transgenic to chimera, or a facsimile thereof

Read this story a moment ago, and it got me thinking...

What happens if underground laboratories out there, with no care in the world for moral consequences, uses transgenic techniques to slowly create a derivative cross-genetic branch between monkeys and humans?


Might this lead to a competition of resources between two similar but clearly different species...homo-sapiens and homo-macaca? Or maybe there will be a family of apes...homo-pongo, homo-pan and homo-gorilla...aka Planet of the Apes?
