SCIENTIST CLAIMS HE CAN BRING BACK NEANDERTHALS
DAILY MAIL UK via Barbwire ^ | DAILY MAIL UK 20 January 2013/UPDATED DAILY MAIL UK 1 February 2016 via Barbwire 22 July 2016 | BY ALLAN HALL FOR MAILONLINE AND FIONA MACRAE FOR THE DAILY MAIL via Barbwire LEE DUIGON

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.”

I thought Alex Jones fit the bill?

Ask him, he would agree.

From the mongoloids I’ve seen walking the streets on workdays I figured this was already being done. Oh they love the lottery so.
His excuse for playing god is paper-thin. When you need a rocket scientist or an astrophysicist, you don’t call a Neanderthal.

Quick, slam the gate closed.

Neanderthals never existed.

Which is odd, because homo sapiens is the only creature that has ever been on the planet that denies that God exists.

Professor George Church is really Dr. Moreau and the supposed Neanderthal will be born as pig-man.

My first thought, too. Why bother, when the Neanderthals were either Bernbots or Hillary Communists?

True, I have to deal with one everyday.

I divorced mine. It only cost me everything I had plus. Best damn deal I ever made in my life.
