I dont see this ending well for us. we will keep making them smarter and smarter over generations and before we know it.....BAM....we're growing food for our new ape overlords.

have the scientist's not seen the new planet of the apes film............. lol

on a serious note-i wonder how far along we could get a species of monkey(the bonobono is the smartest as far as i know, i watched a show where one was using words on the computer(they taught it a bunch of words) to articulate that she missed her companion and that her friend was dead. quite stunning to see how smart it was. look up wild kingdom or kings of the wild (i cant remember which) and watch the bonobono episode.) in intelligence if we really tried. we could breed them for desirable traits to help speed up the process too. look at how much progress we've made with dogs. it would finally show those creationists that man like intelligence can evolve from a less intelligent version.

to be honest i reckon its wrong them training monkeys and so on let them clime trees and eat fruit and act like .......monkeys,
why try to make them something there not they were put on this planet the way they are ment to be. are they training them to becomes slaves?use in war? no one knows what they are training them for deep down. so basically let a monkey be a monkey in my books
