Meanwhile if you look up macrocephaly you will see that a very large brain without proper structure is completely useless.

There is also a correlation between big brains and big butts. You can’t have both - it’s either one or the other.

It will be really interesting to see whether the 12% larger brains in the human seeded brains actually causes differences when these mice grow up. Actually, it might even be interesting to see if their is any difference with those seeded with Chimp tissue, as Chimps are a lot smarter than mice.

bigger brains seen in the mice "intriguing"... Its been done before. But what is it that we will do today?

And humans have 50% of their DNA in common with bananas. So the point is?

The particular region of DNA they found to be important is in a part of the genetic code that was once called "junk DNA." This is DNA that doesn't code for proteins, so scientists used to think it served no purpose. At the end of the nineteenth century biologists had identified over 100 organs in the human body that were "relics of evolution" and no longer necessary, including the appendix. By now the number has been reduced to near zero, as the functions of these "relics" have been discovered. Even the appendix turns out to play an important role in the immune system.
I suspect that a lot of "junk DNA" is going to turn out to be useful after all.
