Scientists have inserted a human gene in the brains of monkeys to make them larger and more wrinkled in disconcerting lab experiments. Experts found the insertion of the gene, called ARHGAP11B, resulted in a larger neocortex in the fetus of a common marmoset. The neocortex is the deeply grooved outer layer of the brain that is … Read more
