>A HUMAN baby raised alongside a chimpanzee "became more ape than human" before tragically killing himself later in life.
>Animal psychologists Winthrop Niles Kellogg and his wife Luella carried out a bizarre experiment in the 1930s as they raised a chimp named Gua and their son Donald as "brother and sister".
>However, the couple got more than they bargained for when it was actually their son Donald who ended up becoming more ape than man.
>The experiment had to be cancelled as reportedly the tot started to make noises like a chimp and began to become more aggressive, even biting people.
>He grunted and barked like his "sister" when he wanted more food and would mimic her behaviours.
>Donald also began to move on all fours like the chimp - and the two would even wrestle like two wild animals.
>Seeing what was happening to their son, the Kelloggs terminated the experiment - and Gua was sent away, dying of pneumonia just a year later aged 3.
>And while not much more is known about Donald, he later killed himself aged just 43 in 1973.
Some future for the "Hoks" in store.
