As long as they do not use intelligence or design everything will be fine.

No real need. We already have Neanderthals living among us--just go to the world of Islam.

It is only a matter of time, then, until they recreate the Neanderthal. Will they be considered human or sub-human? What rights, if any, will they be afforded? This has been one of sci fi's biggest nightmares.

"It is only a matter of time, then, until they recreate the Neanderthal."

I think, instead of "Neaderthal," we call the created beings "Zetas" or perhaps, "cylons." They both have a nice ring.

Here's a good article too. We can't post from this site so I'll link it.

Code Of The Caveman

"A new DNA mapping technique may solve an ancient mystery: Do modern humans carry Neanderthal genes?"

But do Neanderthal women have red hair, that is the question. ;^)

Use it to study interrelationships. It should be pretty valuable for that.

And if they do, do the stalagmites match the dolomites?
