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.”

He will be a star.
Could be an MMA or boxing champ, football star, porn star... who knows, maybe even a scientist - they did have bigger brains than us.
Pffft...I’ve been watching Neanderthals at the DNC.
Excellent idea.
The NFL would probably fund the research as Neanderthals would make great linemen and blocking backs.
I never left.
I thought they were here. I thought some of them spoke at the Democrat National Convention, and some of them gave news coverage to the same convention this week.
too late, Neanderthals are already here....(he just hasn’t met my last girlfriend is all)
LOL!
All they have to do is go to Philadelphia this week - no need to raise from eggs. They’re fully formed there.
If Church wants to find Neanderthals he could just look
in a Harvard faculty lounge.
Maybe they became extinct for damn good reason? This idiot should be stopped from messing with this voodoo.
They will probably be sienstists.
So he would bring back someone who would, in all probability, look different in a really bad way. Imagine growing up feeling like you are the ugly duckling. Imagine the impact of how other children would make fun of him, or worse, her. This is a special kind of abuse.
Incidentally, we’re talking about more than brow ridges. Their forearms were shorter than their upper arms and that’s just one of the physical differences. Have a heart, science, don’t bring an unloved child into the world who will suffer cruelly beyond what most of us would ever encounter.
More democrat voters.
That would work! Lol!
Look no further!
please let this be privately funded...
sheesh.
We already have them, they behead priests.
The Almas in the Caucasus Mountains, seen as recently as the 1980s, may be surviving Neanderthals.
I was just wondering why an evolutionist would want to reintroduce an extinct species that was obviously unfit to survive..... and then you enlightened me.
