Naturally in jungle, or intentionally by men, does it happen? How about something close to men? Like monkeyxmen?

It seems to be mostly a case of 'not my type'.jim mcnamara said:So the real question is: how do species stop cross breeding, not if it occurs.
Not sure if that's really cross breeding or just picking offspring with desired characteristics.BTW a lot of our modern crop plants are the result of intentional cross breeding - wheat derives from plants like emmer which was then cross bred over time - result modern wheat.
Cross-breeding is the process of breeding two different species or varieties of plants or animals in order to create offspring with desired traits. This can occur naturally or through deliberate human intervention.
Cross-breeding can occur naturally through sexual reproduction, where the genetic material from two different species or varieties is combined in the offspring. It can also happen through human intervention, where specific plants or animals are bred together to produce offspring with desired traits.
Cross-breeding can result in offspring with desirable traits such as increased resistance to disease, improved yield or productivity, and better adaptability to different environments. It can also increase genetic diversity, which is important for the survival and evolution of species.
Cross-breeding can also lead to undesirable traits being passed down to offspring, such as increased susceptibility to disease or reduced fertility. It can also result in the loss of genetic diversity if certain traits become dominant and others are lost.
The ethics of cross-breeding depend on the specific situation and the intentions of the breeders. In some cases, cross-breeding can be seen as a way to improve the genetic diversity and health of a species. However, it can also be viewed as unnatural and potentially harmful to the animals or plants involved. It is important for breeders to consider the welfare of the organisms and the potential consequences of their actions.
