All he needs is “an adventurous female” to be a surrogate mother, says a scientist at Harvard Medical School, and he’s off to the races on a plan to resurrect the extinct Neanderthals.
He thinks he has enough Neanderthal DNA that he can “reconstruct” the whole DNA strand. Would that mean filling the little gaps with, say, frog DNA? It worked in Jurassic Park.
Professor George Church of Harvard Medical School believes he can reconstruct Neanderthal DNA and resurrect the species which became extinct 33,000 years ago.
His scheme is reminiscent of Jurassic Park but, while in the film dinosaurs were created in a laboratory, Professor Church’s ambitious plan requires a human volunteer.
He said his analysis of Neanderthal genetic code using samples from bones is complete enough to reconstruct their DNA. You’d think it would be–well, cruel–to bring to life a being who would be the only one of his kind in all the world. Like, what’s the poor Neanderthal supposed to do, after they get done experimenting on him? If they ever get done. If he’s ever permitted to have a life of his own, it that were even possible.
So why do this? The prefesser explains:
“When the time comes to deal with… getting off the planet, it’s conceivable that their [Neanderthals’] way of thinking could be beneficial.”

Good grief. Fractal Trader won’t get any sleep tonight.
Thanks.
Does Glenn Beck need a playmate ?
I HATED that commercial.
I thought Alex Jones fit the bill?
Ask him, he would agree.
Can you wish away muslims too?
It’s been done. They’re in Philadelphia.
#NeanderthalLivesMatter
From the mongoloids I’ve seen walking the streets on workdays I figured this was already being done. Oh they love the lottery so.
His excuse for playing god is paper-thin. When you need a rocket scientist or an astrophysicist, you don’t call a Neanderthal.
Why?
“They’re all in Philadelphia right now...”
...and, fenced in all nice and tidy.
Quick, slam the gate closed.
Which is odd, because homo sapiens is the only creature that has ever been on the planet that denies that God exists.
Just what we need, another victimized underclass.
Professor George Church is really Dr. Moreau and the supposed Neanderthal will be born as pig-man.
Please tell me Hilldawg never existed either...
My first thought, too. Why bother, when the Neanderthals were either Bernbots or Hillary Communists?
Go to Philly. At your own risk.
You are correct!!!
Has he been to Philadelphia this week?
I divorced mine. It only cost me everything I had plus. Best damn deal I ever made in my life.
