The Chinese Academy of Science’s Kunming Institute of Zoology created the first human-monkey chimera in July 2019, a Spanish scientist, Professor Juan Carlos Izpisua Belmonte, from the American Salk Institute in San Diego led the project in collaboration with the Murcia Catholic University in Murcia, Spain. Research in China doesn’t face such regulatory oversight. They developed both to review human embryonic stem cell research, including part-human chimera research. Shortly after that the United Kingdom developed the Human Fertilization and Embryology Authority and in the United States developed the Embryonic Stem Cell Research Oversight Committee. They implanted those embryos into mama monkeys who then gave birth twins Hex and Roku and a singleton, Chimero. Scientists had mixed parts of six different embryos and created new embryos. Then in January 2012, scientists introduced three rhesus macaques, Hex, Roku and Chimero, to the world. Researchers hope to learn more about regenerative properties and perhaps create a part human chimera to produce organs for much needed transplants. Scientists created the sheep-goat chimera in 1984. Then, scientists realized that since sheep and goats could have live offspring that were sheep-goat hybrids, they might be good experimental subjects for chimera. They created these chimeras in the laboratory to study gene function. Scientists created chimeric mice in 1961. Research Public Doman image from Wikimedia ![]() And you’ve probably seen the recent sensational science news about a lab created monkey-human chimera. You’ve probably seen a sensational crime story where the criminal escapes because of his or her chimera blood type. Human organ transplants create a synthetic chimera. Synthetic chimera gain their unique genetic makeup through transfusion or transplantation. They may have a liver with a DNA that matches the rest of their body, but their kidneys have a different DNA. Most human chimeras never know they have the condition. That condition may be much more common than we assume. Human chimeras were rare, or so we thought. There are innate (natural) plant and animal genetic chimeras. The term genetic chimera refers to a single organism composed of two or more genetically different cells.
