First Ever Primate Clones Unveiled in China

Description

These adorable baby monkeys are clones! 8-week-old Zhong Zhong and 6-week-old Hua Hua became the first primates to be successfully cloned using somatic cell nuclear transfer, and were unveiled in Suzhou on Wednesday. The pair of long-tailed macaques frolicked in their incubator, unaware of the scientific milestone they represent. The Chinese Academy of Sciences carried out the cloning in order to further biological experimentation, given exact clones will provide more reliable data during testing. Their genetic similarity to humans also increases the likelihood of human clones in the near future.
