If Neanderthals ever walk the earth again, the primordial ooze from which they will rise is an emulsion of oil, water, and DNA capture beads engineered in the laboratory of 454 Life Sciences in Branford, Connecticut. Over the past 4 years those beads have been gathering tiny fragments of DNA from samples of dissolved organic materials, including pieces of Neanderthal bone. Genetic sequences have given paleoanthropologists a new line of evidence for testing ideas about the biology of our closest extinct relative.
The first studies of Neanderthal DNA focused on the genetic sequences of mitochondria, the microscopic organelles that convert food to energy within cells. In 2005, however, 454 began a collaborative project with the Max Planck Institute in Leipzig, Germany, to sequence the full genetic code of a Neanderthal woman who died in Croatia's Vindija cave 30,000 years ago. As the Neanderthal genome is painstakingly sequenced, the archaeologists and biologists who study it will be faced with an opportunity that seemed like science fiction just 10 years ago. They will be able to look at the genetic blueprint of humankind's nearest relative and understand its biology as intimately as our own.
In addition to giving scientists the ability to answer questions about Neanderthals' relationship to our own species--did we interbreed, are we separate species, who was smarter--the Neanderthal genome may be useful in researching medical treatments. Newly developed techniques could make cloning Neanderthal cells or body parts a reality within a few years. The ability to use the genes of extinct hominins is going to force the field of paleoanthropology into some unfamiliar ethical territory. There are still technical obstacles, but soon it could be possible to use that long-extinct genome to safely create a healthy, living Neanderthal clone. Should it be done? |

But yes, why not?
I wrote a short story in highschool about this. Except we used them to do labor; a sort of "slave," if you will. Of course, the teacher didn't like it one bit.
Their cranial capacity is not as large as humans' capacity, however they are presumed to have been phsycially stronger, as shown in their skeletal structure.
Of course it has been a pipe dream of mine to clone Neanderthals and create an army of them. With the neanderthal army we could easily take over the world, resulting in the collapse of the NWO and the plan for financial dictatorship. But alas, this is not reality, but only a pipe dream of mine. |

Since HSS killed them off the first time, I don't see how now would be any different. They would still be treated as a lesser human. Smaller cranial capacity isn't directly linked to intellect though even in large brain span differences of our own species. No way we're ready to live alongside a different species. They'd be slaves and experiments just as you said. |
|
Same thing with Mammoths. Japanese scientists want to eventually clone them. I don't see why not. Pygmy mammoths were living on a remote Siberian island in roughly 5000BC. That wasn't that long ago.
If we were to clone a mammoth, there should be no problem, as we were responsible for a bottleneck in their population before the last ice age.
We should also clone the DoDo bird. It was a huge bird, much larger than a chicken. It's meat was said to have tasted like chicken as well. We should clone the dodo bird and solve some hunger issues around the globe. |

they've done studies saying they were intellectual and not that "dumb." one thing they're theorizing now is that their language must have been very primitive, as that part of their brain was not as developed. Also, their vocal chords weren't like ours, which leads some scientists to believe if they had a language, it would have been much different sounding than that of humans. |
|
but yes. you think we have racism today? wait till another actual species lives with us.
it's so easy a caveman can do it = racist |
|
They would sound like Klingons. Totally possible they could have the same level of abstract thought with a simpler language. |
|
Of course. If no interbreeding occurred, and they were still around, I'd imagine that they'd have their own culture, society, art, etc. However, we wouldn't have allowed that anyway, due to actual conflicts between the two species. |
|
i want them to do it since colbert said they were tasty. Neanderthal bacon? forgetaboutit. |
|
haha, no joke, i'm sure a Neanderthal ritual must have been pretty fucking glorious. |

|
I was acutally going to start a Neanderthal Death Metal band called Neanderkill. Anyone down? |
|
lots o neandertal bones there |
|
Why clone them? You can just go to any hardcore show and view them in the wild. |
|
wonder if a neanderthal vagina is better than a homo's vagina. |
|
It'd be hairy, purple, and loose as fuck. |

i'll have a single pillow of shredded wheat, some steamed toast, and a Dodo egg. |
|
You think I'm joking with this dodo shit? They'd be up to you waist, and would contain 30 lbs of meat.
Dodo or gtfo |
|
I bet if you bred Red-Heads enough you'd get something like a neanderthal in a hundred generations. Some Believe red-hair is a trait inherited from inter-breeding with neanderthals. It makes sense, mostly Northern and edge of the world-cultures had red hair, Celts, Norse, some native tribes in Russia
They'd just look like white Negroes I bet but only oddly shaped. |
|
i for one am proud of my neanderthal heritage. buying shirts with long enough sleeves is kind of a bitch though. |

"454 Life Sciences in Branford, Connecticut."
so THATS what happened to 454 Big Block

ITT: neanderthal chicks are DTF |
