In January 1976, an astonishing scientific discovery was made – a hybrid creature, dubbed Oliver, was photographed that appeared to be part-human and part-chimpanzee. This remarkable being quickly gained international fame and became known as the mysterious ‘Humanzee’.
Oliver’s human-like behavior captivated audiences around the world and he quickly became a cult figure in Japan. Meanwhile, journalists in New York described him as the ‘missing link’ while others referred to him as ‘Bigfoot’.
