Kourovka Notebook Problem 21.146

(Well-known problem). A classifying space for a group GG is a connected CW-complex with fundamental group GG and all higher homotopy groups trivial. A group is of type FnF_n if it has a classifying space with finite nn-skeleton. For example, type F1F_1 is equivalent to finite generation, and type F2F_2 is equivalent to finite presentability. Type F∞F_\infty means type FnF_n for all nn. For n⩾3n\geqslant 3, does every group of type Fn−1F_{n-1} embed as a subgroup of a group of type FnF_n? Or even in a group of type F∞F_\infty?
