Similarly, humans can't impregnate chimpanzees. That really hurts the "humans evolved from apes" theory

Since this is a common misconception, I'll note that humans didn't evolve from apes or chimpanzees. We share a relatively close common ancestor with them.

Ape is a broad enough term (& fuzzy) that depending on context humans could be considered included or excluded from the category, meanwhile chimps & that common ancestor do fit into the category

Hence I didn't say we evolved from chimpanzees, even though it'd've suited the snow clone better
