After trying to create an artificially being scientists prepare infamous experiment cross between Homo sapiens and chimpanzees. In solid journal Nature Reviews Genetics recently raised a very disturbing question: can genetically change monkeys by putting them in human genes? - Technically possible today - no doubt one of the authors of the material, the professor of the Center for Bioethics and Humanities at the University of Colorado (USA), Jacqueline Glover. - I completely decoded human genome and that of chimpanzees. We are now sequenced the genome of gorillas, orangutans, Bonobo, baboon, marmoset and lemurs. Soon we will learn from what has been "built" Neanderthal. This database allows to monitor changes in the evolutionary line of apes and separate specific to human genes. Here, researchers can begin the most interesting. If these uniquely human "building blocks of life" get in touch with the genes of our furry relatives may get a genetic hybrid "ape-man". Certainly not for pleasure. - We will have a practical way to learn what role in the formation of human qualities play one or another gene - explains Professor Glover. - This could raise a monkey, by introducing into the genome and human genes. Then examine what changes in your body and will happen. Thus it will be possible to understand the role of all unique human genes, and finally to understand what makes us human.
