Two chimera piglets containing monkey DNA have been born in China.

Although both died within a week and appeared to be normal, the baby animals had genetic material from cynomolgus monkeys in their heart, liver, spleen, lung and skin.

And now we have monkey-human hybrids. No jokes about Cromer please.

From Popular Mechanics

• Scientists introduced a human gene, ARHGAP11B, into monkey fetuses.
• The gene caused an increase in the size of the monkey brains, including folding similar to that of human brains.
• The study poses some serious ethical questions on genetic engineering.

In an experiment that could portend a real-life Planet of the Apes situation, scientists spliced human genes into the fetus of a monkey to substantially increase the size of the primate’s brain. And it worked.

Researchers from Germany’s Max Planck Institute of Molecular Cell Biology and Genetics in Germany and Japan’s Central Institute for Experimental Animals introduced a specifically human gene, ARHGAP11B, into the fetus of a common marmoset monkey, causing the enlargement of its brain’s neocortex. The scientists reported their findings in Science. ...
