Can a man and an ape have offspring?
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.

Why are apes the closest animal to resemble humans?
Apes resemble humans so closely that they are referred to as anthropoid (humanlike). Apes have large brains and are among the most intelligent animals. An ape's skeleton is similar to that of a human. However, relatively shorter legs and longer arms make apes better adapted for tree-dwelling and walking on all fours than for standing erect. Apes have short, coarse fur and rounded ears; there is little or no hair on the face and ears. They usually live in family or multi-family groups, although orangutans are also found singly or in pairs. The female usually gives birth to one offspring at a time. Apes feed chiefly on vegetation; they also eat eggs, insects, birds, and small mammals.
They have opposable thumbs. In other words, the thumb is capable of bending in a way that it can touch the other digits. This is a signature feature of the primate family and human beings.
