Technically, Man is a species of ape. The other species of ape and Man are very closely related. And if two species are related closely enough (as with, for instance, donkeys and horses), they might be able to produce hybrid offspring. Of course having a recent enough common ancestor in itself is not a guarantee that it is possible for Humans and Chimps to hybridize, but it might still be possible.
