I'd like to start a petition that we engineer a chimp with human TKTL1 and human FOXP2 genes! Sounds like we're only about 3 or 4 SNPs away, and if a chimp had a denser neocortex and a brain structure more suitable to human-like speech (and the corresponding spatial organization/awareness)... I'm just saying, a real-life Planet of the Apes doesn't have to end in disaster, we could just embrace our cousins as equals :)
