The institute founded in 1927 was rumored to have come into existence, as part of Stalin’s disturbing plan to make legions of industrial workers that would be inhumane in strength, while mentally subdued. This would in theory, be achieved by inseminating female chimpanzees with human sperm from male donors, in order to create human-ape hybrids that could mindlessly build cities at terrifying speeds.
After decades of circulating through the Russian Media and being entangled by myth, Russian scientists working at the institute today, admit that such experiments did take place within the institute and that most of the radical testing can be narrowed down to one man named Dr. Ilya Ivanov.

In Japan, an artificial womb has been created that incubates goat fetuses. The scientists who developed it say they are working on a model that can be used for human fetuses, but that the technology is ten or more years away.
The womb is a plastic box filled with amniotic fluid and attached to a number of devices that monitor vital functions. Researchers remove the fetus from the mother at 17 weeks of development. A pump replaces the placenta by supplying oxygen and food that goes directly into the fetus's blood. The fetus lies submerged in the fluid, and its blood supply is cleaned and oxygenated by a dialysis machine through the umbilical cord.
Currently a goat fetus can stay in the womb a maximum of three weeks, but scientists are working to extend this time and to solve the problems when the goat fetuses are removed from the artificial womb. Some have lived for a few days, others for much longer
Fisheries biologist Dr Nick Otway and his team, Dr Megan Storrie, Brett Louden and Justin Gilligan, have “birthed” live dwarf ornate wobbegong sharks using an artificial uterus (AU). The technology developed by Nick, a senior researcher with the NSW Department of Primary Industries (DPI), will ultimately be used to breed the critically endangered grey nurse shark.

Its funny, the people ive discussed this with today all have a universal sense of horror and outrage at the very idea.
They find the idea that the living fossil exhibit featuring Homo neanderthalensis at their local zoo or wildlife park is one they have great aversion to.
But they dont share this same sentiment in regards to chimpanze's or gorilla's
But a chimps DNA and ours differs by just 4 percent.......
Neandertal DNA Sequencing
There is plenty of research that points to chimps being "people too"

But for most, they are just animals
Poor Neo Nandys.......
The question isnt will we bring them back, we almost certainly will
The question is what status do we accord them ?
People or just another animal............
Personally i welcome the challenge such a thing would present our species.
Up until now, you are either human, or you are not
If you are not a human, then you are an animal and animals have no rights
This is a game changer, and imo could be very good for our collective psyche
The old polarised paradigm will be shattered.
Yes they will likely develop tools, language even music, hopefully it will change the way we view a species thats not our own.
Through DNA, we can start to understand ourselves by comparing our genomes to other creatures. By changing the code, we can explore how in turn this affects metabolism, phenotype, and behavior. And this is exactly what life scientists are beginning to do in high throughput. DNA sequencing data is now flowing out of genome centers at a phenomenal rate, at the very least ensuring job stability for IT professionals and bioinformatics specialists. Meanwhile, synthetic biology, genetic engineering assisted by design software tools and automated synthesizers, is blistering hot. The field is opening up bioengineering to a new generation of programmers.

As i said from the moment we started making tools, we were set on a course where in the end the tools make us.

Functional and Comparative Genomics Fact SheetThe often-quoted statement that we share over 98% of our genes with apes (chimpanzees, gorillas, and orangutans) actually should be put another way. That is, there is more than 95% to 98% similarity between related genes in humans and apes in general. (Just as in the mouse, quite a few genes probably are not common to humans and apes, and these may influence uniquely human or ape traits.) Similarities between mouse and human genes range from about 70% to 90%, with an average of 85% similarity but a lot of variation from gene to gene (e.g., some mouse and human gene products are almost identical, while others are nearly unrecognizable as close relatives). Some nucleotide changes are “neutral” and do not yield a significantly altered protein. Others, but probably only a relatively small percentage, would introduce changes that could substantially alter what the protein does.
THE Soviet dictator Josef Stalin ordered the creation of Planet of the Apes-style warriors by crossing humans with apes, according to recently uncovered secret documents.
Moscow archives show that in the mid-1920s Russia's top animal breeding scientist, Ilya Ivanov, was ordered to turn his skills from horse and animal work to the quest for a super-warrior.
According to Moscow newspapers, Stalin told the scientist: "I want a new invincible human being, insensitive to pain, resistant and indifferent about the quality of food they eat."
In 1926 the Politburo in Moscow passed the request to the Academy of Science with the order to build a "living war machine". The order came at a time when the Soviet Union was embarked on a crusade to turn the world upside down, with social engineering seen as a partner to industrialisation: new cities, architecture, and a new egalitarian society were being created.
The Soviet authorities were struggling to rebuild the Red Army after bruising wars.
And there was intense pressure to find a new labour force, particularly one that would not complain, with Russia about to embark on its first Five-Year Plan for fast-track industrialisation.
Mr Ivanov was highly regarded. He had established his reputation under the Tsar when in 1901 he established the world's first centre for the artificial insemination of racehorses.
Mr Ivanov's ideas were music to the ears of Soviet planners and in 1926 he was dispatched to West Africa with $200,000 to conduct his first experiment in impregnating chimpanzees.
Meanwhile, a centre for the experiments was set up in Georgia - Stalin's birthplace - for the apes to be raised.
Mr Ivanov's experiments, unsurprisingly from what we now know, were a total failure. He returned to the Soviet Union, only to see experiments in Georgia to use monkey sperm in human volunteers similarly fail.
A final attempt to persuade a Cuban heiress to lend some of her monkeys for further experiments reached American ears, with the New York Times reporting on the story, and she dropped the idea amid the uproar.
Mr Ivanov was now in disgrace. His were not the only experiments going wrong: the plan to collectivise farms ended in the 1932 famine in which at least four million died.
For his expensive failure, he was sentenced to five years' jail, which was later commuted to five years' exile in the Central Asian republic of Kazakhstan in 1931. A year later he died, reportedly after falling sick while standing on a freezing railway platform.
Under the plan, the nuclei of mammoth cells will be inserted into an elephant's egg cells from which the nuclei have been removed to create an embryo containing mammoth genes, it said.
The embryo will then be inserted into an elephant's womb in the hope that the animal will eventually give birth to a baby mammoth. Researches hope to achieve their aim within five to six years, the Yomiuri said.
The biggest difference between somatic cell nuclear transfer and artificial embryo twinning is where they get their DNA. A clone developed from artificial embryo twinning takes its chromosomes from a mother and a father. A clone from the somatic cell nuclear transfer gets all its chromosomes from one organism, making it an exact replica of its 'donor parent.' Somatic cell nuclear transfer is also referred to as reproductive cloning. Reproductive cloning is accomplished by a scientist taking a somatic cell from an adult. A somatic cell is basically any cell that is not an egg or sperm. The reason for this is because an egg or sperm only have half the amount of chromosomes as a somatic cell, which is only half the amount of chromosomes any given species needs to develop.
Scientists will then take the nucleus out of somatic cell and place it into an egg that has had its nucleus removed. The reason they do this is because the nucleus is much like the brain of the cell. It contains all chromosomes that are needed in DNA. The DNA tells the cell how to form, what the person will look like, how they will develop and all other pertinent information.
By taking the nucleus out of an egg cell, and replacing it with a nucleus that has all the chromosomes, the egg acts like a fertilized egg and becomes a zygote. It will then develop with the exact information as the 'donor parent.' This causes the new cell to become the clone of the 'donor parent' making them genetically identical
I can be a volunteer for such research,with pleasure and interest! I am healthy women (and most importantly very adventurous))) - 36 years old. Tell me the requirements and opportunities. My email address: [email protected]

But creating human-animal chimeras—named after a monster in Greek mythology that had a lion's head, goat's body, and serpent's tail—has raised troubling questions: What new subhuman combination should be produced and for what purpose? At what point would it be considered human? And what rights, if any, should it have?
There are currently no U.S. federal laws that address these issues.
