But they will never get to the level for any sort of reliable large number of seqences to provide much info at all.

Yeah, that's my thought. But good luck to 'em.

I dunno. There was a report here a few days ago about DNA from a 400,000 year old horse tooth. The mammoth we will get, because they're frozen. Are there any frozen Neanderthals? Or ones preserved in acidic bogs? I predict we will get some very nice complete genes, and maybe eventually an almost complete genome. Have there been any reports as to Chromosome Number? The information will be priceless.
