On the other hand, chimps can be quite charming

According to The Scotsman, Josef Stalin tried to create a race of "super warriors" by cross breeding people with apes.

[E]xperiments [in West Africa to impregnate chimpanzees] ... were a total failure. [The program director] returned to the Soviet Union, only to see experiments in Georgia to use monkey sperm in human volunteers similarly fail.

I may not be an expert on Stalin's Soviet Union, but am I the only person who thinks that the Scotsman is using the phrase "human volunteers" a little loosely here?
