A dog-human hybrid, as depicted in the Nuremberg Chronicle (1493, p. 12)

In the various discussions of mammalian hybrids on this site I generally include all relevant claims 

that I have encountered, at least those made by serious people, especially by scholars. In setting my 

own beliefs aside and following this policy of listing all such reports, my intention is to avoid 

introducing a systematic reporting bias. And I do the same here with respect to allegations of 

hybridization between primates and dogs. Cynocephaly, the condition of a human having the head of 

a dog, is described in the writings of many different cultures, both ancient and recent. As myth, there 

is an extensive literature on dog-human hybrids. For millennia, authors from China to Greece have 

written of these creatures, the Cynocephali, strange beings who always, it seems, preferred to occupy 

the gray, unknown regions of the map. It was widely believed that entire races of dog-headed men 

existed (for example, see the extracts from Ctesias and Marco Polo at the bottom of this page). 

Writing in the early fifth century A.D. (City of God, 16:8), St. Augustine expresses his 

puzzlement on the topic: “What shall I say of the Cynocephali, whose dog-like head and barking 

proclaim them beasts rather than men?” READ MORE: http://www.disclose.tv/forum/human-canine-
