Hello Archytas, I took it seriously... interesting. Found an older New Scientist article, right off the bat (as they say... where does that figurative language come from, by the way?... another question for another time). http://www.newscientist.com/article/dn14487-first-neanderthal-genome-completed.html Is there more... current ... info on this Neanderthal genome? Are they actually going to try to "breed" one? Now, there's a moral/ethical question for you.... If it bears out and you weren't kidding... I am surprised that there hasn't been some sort of furor over the prospect. In a very "immature" childish way, I would like to see a modern "neanderthal specimen". I think that they were supposed to be about four to five and a half feet tall, very heavy-boned and muscular.... the human equivalents of little gorillas, physically. But that doesn't speak to their mental abilities, necessarily, as well. Neanderthals as "Super-Men" .... heroes or warriors for the modern age.... great sci-fi potential.... nominal9
