Scientists in the USA and China have created hybrid monkey-human embryos that can survive for up to 20 days. While chimera research is not new, this latest project followed the results of a companion study last year, when Professor Weizhi Ji and his colleagues at Kunming University of Science and Technology in Yunnan, managed to grow a monkey embryo outside the womb for an extended period of time.
