Scientists have experimented with inserting human genes into the brains of monkeys, with results that surprised even experts. According to Mail Online, the scientists created embryos in the laboratory by combining the eggs and sperms of monkeys and apes and then editing the genes in their brains to include the human gene 'ARHGAP11B' ) Entered.
According to the report, the insertion of this gene has enlarged the outer layer of the brain of this monkey fetus (Foetus) in the size of 'necortex'. And plays a key role in controlling other vital brain functions. The study was conducted by scientists at the Max Planck Institute of Molecular Cell Biology and Genetics. The head of the research team, Michael Head, said: "It is surprising that a human gene has been inserted into the brain of a monkey's embryo to enlarge the neocortex, the outer layer of its brain. It is the neocortex that sets us apart from other animals because it gives our brains the ability to do many other things, including questioning, justifying, and speaking, that sets us apart from other animals. The chimpanzee's brain is closest to the human brain, but this layer of its brain is also three times smaller than the human brain.
