In a world first, two primates have been cloned by Chinese researchers using the technique that yielded Dolly the sheep. The two female macaques, named Zhong Zhong and Hua Hua, are genetically identical and were born after a years-long effort.

The success also suggests that human cloning may soon be possible—but researchers urge caution.
