Chimera doesn't necessarily mean two species, at least in the scientific sense. It means two distinct genotypes. Genotypes meaning a set of genes. If a human being is a chimera, it's probably because something weird happened to their twin in the womb. Sometimes a human chimera just has two blood types, theirs and their sibling's. Other times, a human chimera will have their whole body, but also have their opposite sex sibling's genitalia. Sometimes, a mother will give birth to children that don't have any of her DNA, because one of her eggs was made with DNA from the mother's twin who was absorbed into her when she was in the womb. It's absurdly, insanely rare.
