LINK Chinese scientists have put human brain genes in monkeys—and yes, they may be smarter - MIT Technology Review
Kind of like the old H.G. Wells book "The Island of Doctor Moreau" i don't see this ending happily. As they said in "Jurassic Park", "Just because we can doesn't mean that we should."

How to test is next. Nice were genetically alter some years ago with human genes that made their brains start to fold, one of the key reasons humans are so intelligent within a limited space.
Lots of genetic mixing happening (with human cells it is mostly in the Petri dish in the US)
