The Scientific Basis for Jungle Jitters

A lot of people didn't catch this, I guess because I didn't advertise it properly, but my recent novel Jungle Jitters is actually based on real life. 

You see, Jungle Jitters concerns a mad scientist, Ilya Ivanovich Ivanov, who wants to mate human beings with chimpanzees in order to create a hybrid species of ape men. The thing is, Ilya Ivanovich Ivanov was a real person, and his experiments actually happened pretty much as I describe them in the novel. Sure, I condensed his two trips to Africa into one trip and made other little changes like that, but such alterations are sometimes necessary for dramatic purposes when fictionalizing actual events. The point is that the experiments described in Jungle Jitters actually took place in real life. 

Serge Voronoff, another mad scientist in Jungle Jitters, was also a real person, who, as in the novel, became rich and famous by performing a bizarre operation on the testicles of the wealthiest men of Paris. His collaboration with Ivanovich, in which the two attempt to implant a fertilized human egg into the womb of a female chimpanzee to see if it can serve as a surrogate mother, also happened more or less as I describe it in Jungle Jitters.  

What is fictional in Jungle Jitters is that in real life Ivanovich failed to create a race of ape men, while my novel imagines what would have happened if he had succeeded, albeit only partially, and explores what the ramifications would be for us in the present day, almost one hundred years after the experiments took place.
