First-ever human-monkey hybrid created
First-ever human-monkey hybrid created in 'chimera' embryo experiment

Scientists have successfully combined human and monkey cells into a single living, growing embryo, in a major — and ethically complex — breakthrough for organ transplant research.
But don't worry: This isn't the real-world prequel to a planet of the semi-human apes. At least, not yet.
An international team of researchers added human stem cells to macaque monkey embryos and watched as they survived and multiplied as one, according to the findings published Thursday in the journal Cell. The scientists effectively created genetic chimeras — a term borrowed from the mythical monster to describe one organism with genes from multiple individuals.
Juan Carlos Izpisua Belmonte, a professor at the Salk Institute and co-author on the study, insists that this is not about creating a full-grown chimera with human and animal traits.

These are the same kind of shenanigans that brought the wrath of God in Genesis 6; inter-mingling of things that ought not be mingled.
