What would a half human / half centaur look like?
Maybe a human front half (including the legs) and horse rear half? It would seriously suck to run with 2 human legs and 2 horse legs.

Can't miss out on the slightest justification to post this.

What in the mortal kombat knockoff Goro is this thing?
Honestly, Goro is a Mantaur wannabe now
The future is now old man! - Mantaur
The introduction of those guys cracked me up.
Wait until you read the newest book
Yeah I'm imagining rear horse legs, and Everytime you jump forward hard with the rear horsepower you land on your front human legs shattering your ankles and breaking your feet and legs with all that weight behind you. Bummer. Walk slow I guess.
I'm thinking you would have human arms and run upright on two horsey hind legs.
I can’t imagine we've got more fragile legs than horses
So instead of half human and half horse, it's 3/4 human 1/4 horse. I'm going with human except the two legs are horse legs.
Isn't that just a satyr?
With a Satyr, the whole lower half from the waist down is a goat.
Crap, you're right. That's what I get for replying based on visual memory and not confirming it first. Thanks.
I think satyrs are goat/humans and centaurs are horse/humans, but that's probably racist somehow.
satyr are goat human hybrid, or demon/lucifer/angel form.

If c = centaur, h = horse, m = man
c = 0.5h + 0.5m
0.5c + 0.5m = 0.5h + 0.5m + 0.5m = 0.5h + 1m
Normalizing we get (0.5h + 1m)(2/3) = (1/3)h + (2/3)m
The horse aspects are getting more diluted by the extra human genes (or parts). As others have observed I'm also imagining a centaur whose front legs are human, but has a wicked rear horse kick.
0.5c = 0.25m + 0.25h and you don't need to normalize.
There's always a normalization step unless two animals go in and two come out. In sexual reproduction it's meiosis for example. In your example you're just pre-normalizing. I may still be wrong about the (2/3):(1/3) ratio though.
Edit: If centaurs reproduced sexually with humans though they’d have 50% centaur offspring and 50% fully human. That’s assuming half their diploid chromosome count comes from each species and they can somehow compatibly align. Lulz.
seriously, no one has answered "a quarter horse" yet? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Quarter_Horse
1 centaur = 1/2 human + 1/2 horse
1/2 human + 1/2 centaur = 3/4 human + 1/4 horse.
Yay math.
3/4 Horse, 1/4 man.
Or 3/4 man, 1/4 horse.
Instead of the usual 50-50 split.
My wife says I’m 1/4 horse.
Apparently I’m a horse’s ass.
But it isn't 50/50. It's a whole horse with half a man where his neck and head should be. So it's more like 1 1/4 creatures.
Half man, half bear, half pig.
No, clearly it's half man, half bear-pig!
Body is 1/2, head is the other 1/2. 🤷♂️
The second one, because if a centaur is already half horse and half human, a half-human half-centaur would be 3/4 human and 1/4 horse.
look at trump. hes bascially a frontaur.
2 human legs but the back ones.
Only legs. Two human legs on bottom and then two horse legs on top, nothing else. The monstrosity still walks upright.
Something like this? I imagine the horse part is the dominant genes
A human with a giant horse "head"
Centaur but on backlegs is also human atop
I'm gonna go with Jesus with hooves
this halfling would have the top of centaur and the buttom of a human
his name is BoJack Horseman

Math can help solve this:
So Centaur is 50% human, 50% horse. Half human, half Centaur would be:
Which is 0.75 human, 0.25 horse
Therefore, this hybrid is 75% human, 25% horse
To answer your question: This would probably be a human with a horse tail, and 2 horse legs.
Damn, I wish I had an algorithm to tell me whether 75 and 25 are even or odd, though.
X Mod 2
It returns true if X is odd and false if X is even.
A more computational efficient method would be to use: AND 00000001
(I was being facetious and was referring to the joke of making highly complicated
evenOrOddfunctions)I just want people to think.
I asked Google about it and it clearly didn't understand what half a centaur is, but it did confirm that it is an even number.

a satyr?
Like a 1/4 centaur, so maybe walking upright on horsey hind legs with a human torso and head?
It would be a centaur with a horse's head.
Ask Musk. Word is he fucked a horse and made a centaur using a cattle prod to give it that magic spark. That is how he came up with the name Tesla.
