LINK Chinese scientists have put human brain genes in monkeys—and yes, they may be smarter - MIT Technology Review

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)
