Let’s do the mammoths first.

[James C. Bennett]

Probably hinges on the definition of whether they are “human” human (LOL!).

I mean, if they are a separate sub-species, it is going to cause problems, a la evolution.

[jonascord]

We already have democrats and muslims. Wouldn’t cloning Neanderthals be an expensive duplication of effort?

“Did We Mate With Neanderthals, or Did We Murder Them?”

Did we mate with native Americans or did we murder them? Yes and yes. If we can mate with Neanderthals, then they aren't a separate species and therefore they are us. If we couldn't breed with them, then they were a separate species, but there is no way to know if we murdered them or not. Besides, what "we" are they referring to? I am confident that no FReeper has bred OR murdered a Neanderthal. And no, we shouldn't clone anything that is extinct, especially any sentient thing. It would be cruel and possibly dangerous.

That is all we need More Democrats!

This article provides us with some good, solid arguments that will be of great practical value once we get rid of the liberals, and somebody proposes bringing them back.

[decisis]

There are living Neanderthals, I will just leave it at that.

[GraceG]

The Left calls us Neanderthals, we could use some company, I say go for it!

The left is bringing in voters from 3rd world, it is high time we clone ourselves up a fresh batch of Neanderthal-Americans.

[dersepp]

Sure. So we can pay them reparations for our antecedents for knocking them off.

[count-your-change]

Scientists keep saying how close chimp DNA is to human DNA so why not just replace the damaged Neanderthal DNA with a chimps?

Makes as much sense as trying to clone a Neanderthal.

[wendy1946]

Mammoths yes, neanderthals very definitely not.

The neanderthal represents a very advanced, extinct ape, basically the most advanced member of the same family as gorillas and chimpanzees. We are simply not a part of that family and are not related to it other than via similar design in the same way that Ford and Chevy models might be called "related".

Neanderthal DNA is typically described as about halfway between ours and that of a chimpanzee and it's highly likely that, like the great apes, the neanderthal might never have had voluntary control over breathing, which is the only reason that chimps and gorillas cannot be taught to speak English.

Fount this on another site:

The year is 1947. Some of you will recall that on July 8, 1947, a little over 60 years ago, witnesses claim that an unidentified flying object(UFO)with five aliens aboard crashed onto a sheep and mule ranch just outside Roswell, New Mexico. This is a well known incident that many say has long been covered up by the U.S. Air Force and other federal agencies and organizations.

However, what you may NOT know is that in the month of April 1948, nine months after that historic day, the following people were born:

Albert A. Gore, Jr..
Hillary Rodham
John F. Kerry
William J. "Bill" Clinton
Howard Dean
Nancy Pelosi
Dianne Feinstein
Charles E. Schumer
Barbara Boxer

See what happens when aliens breed with sheep and jackasses?

I certainly hope this bit of information clears up a lot of things for you. It did for me.

No wonder they support the bill to help illegal aliens!

[BigCinBigD]

Well. The Cowboys could use an new offensive lineman or two.

[greedo]

With no culture, no peers, and an unknown capacity to cope with the modern world mentally or physically,
a Neanderthal would be adrift—caught between a zoo animal and a human being.


None of that stopped Ed Schultz from getting a job at msnbc.


    

[gunnyg]

...more lib voters?

[John-Irish]

Well, what about those Gieco guys? Where did they come from?

[kc2theline]

I recently read this short sci-fi story where this has happened already. The cloned and mix bred neanderthals are superior in many ways. So much so that they become the targets of violent discrimination. Pretty good read.

It was in Gardner Dozois' 2th volume of the years best science fiction. Ted Kosmatka’s “N-Words”

	Gods Graves Glyphs	Thanks James C. Bennett for the ping, and thanks 2ndDivisionVet for posting the topic. The Neandertal Enigma by James Shreeve in local libraries Frayer's own reading of the record reveals a number of overlooked traits that clearly and specifically link the Neandertals to the Cro-Magnons. One such trait is the shape of the opening of the nerve canal in the lower jaw, a spot where dentists often give a pain-blocking injection. In many Neandertal, the upper portion of the opening is covered by a broad bony ridge, a curious feature also carried by a significant number of Cro-Magnons. But none of the alleged 'ancestors of us all' fossils from Africa have it, and it is extremely rare in modern people outside Europe."

"Long time no see!"

[DesScorp]

We should never ever clone humans of any kind. That’s an abomination.
