Scientists have inserted a human gene in the brains of monkeys to make them larger and more wrinkled in disconcerting lab experiments. The team of international researchers found the insertion of the gene, called ARHGAP11B, was found to result in a larger neocortex in the fetus of a common marmoset. The neocortex is the deeply grooved … Read more
