    Planet of the Apes, the Beginning...........

    This can't be a good thing:

    Now scientists in southern China report that they’ve tried to narrow the evolutionary gap, creating several transgenic macaque monkeys with extra copies of a human gene suspected of playing a role in shaping human intelligence.“This was the first attempt to understand the evolution of human cognition using a transgenic monkey model,” says Bing Su, the geneticist at the Kunming Institute of Zoology who led the effort.

    It's no surprise since their leadership has no regard for humanity...I would guess further that we'll only ever hear of what they consider a success, while the monsters will never see the light of day......Ben
