    Hello. I am just wondering, if we put a human zygote inside the womb of a pig, would it carry it to terms? Assuming everything is right, the right environment and hormones.

    Most likely. Sounds like they already done it with cows, prolly work with pigs too.

    Granted, these are chimeras as opposed to full humans, but I don't expect that creates much of a difficulty

    @Puppy

    Seems like the place to start is with a monkey zygote.

    And see what happens.

    I've actually come across a few people who behaved like they could have been spawned in this manner
