Science pretty much is capable, just not precise (yet). We can reverse-engineer birds to show characteristics of dinosaurs. The science would likely require the use of stem cell research, which would likely be curtailed by religious conservatives.
That said, what would be the point of re-creating Neanderthals? Maybe a cool thing to do, but besides testing whether or not it can be done (which it can / will eventually be able to be performed), what would be the purpose? Also, what about the ethics? Just because we can, does that mean we should? Should the recreated creature simply be euthanized if we can't provide for it? Or would it be too much like a person?
Not as an established species, no, but enough of them to study the differences in brain function, learning capabilities, growth, emotional intelligence would be cool. They would be raised in this day and age so there would of course be no "culture shock" or whatever that would come from time travel. (also assuming we would attempt to raise them with common decency and not solely as lab rats, which while also morally wrong could negatively impact results)
It would be interesting to see first hand the effect a couple thousand decades has had on our species and where we could potentially be intellectually, emotionally, and physically a couple thousand decades from now (assuming we don't kill ourselves in the next 100-1000 years).
My one teenage brain cell that never died: ... I wonder how big their dong is.
I think Neanderthals already excist , still many of us women think just as when Neanderthals were common, the fact many of my fellow sisters still want a Neanderthal guy as her partner, and choose big tall guys with less brain, do remind us all that we might live in a new time, but the minds of many women still is in the Neanderthal time, and no what so ever has changed in there minds , and guess it's the main reason for wife abuse and BLM, as most who find tall Neanderthal men attractive , and who love the man to treat them horrible, would gladly accept any other horrible things as racism too
no and i have no idea why anyone would want to. they died out and we didn't for a reason... might be better to bring back species lost to the hand of modern man to redress the natural ecological balance on earth but i guess this is the folly of doing science for the sake of it... to me it would make more sence to address the issues of the day like why are all the pollinaters dying off and can we reverse that

lol they would look nothing like this ridiculously ill informed images XD in fact, when you take a closer look at the skeleton, these things hardly resemble humans at all.
The theory of evolution as proposed by Alfred Russel Wallace (using Darwin for publicity, and unfairly, this man's name is associated with the theory instead of it's actual father) IS very real, and does account for why certain mutations propagate, so yeah it does account for how a species can evolve, but it does NOT account for human origins.
No, the missing link that the proposal specified MUST be found for this theory to be applied to human origins was NEVER FOUND and by this point even if it was, these skeletons should be everywhere, it's not satisfactory. Look into the work of lloyd pie if you want to know more. Be open minded, history has been rewritten so many times you have to be prepared to hear a totally out of the box opinion
Maybe cause they'd probably own sports. Definitely are so ugly looking tho. And hard to look at to.. Lol.. They probably also spoke crime since they are way more animal like them us wouldn't they. Based on that I'd say the risk far lit weighs the good. Screw that...
let the dead rest in peace.. i'm all for extending human life spans tho.. but only if everyone has the same health care.. I'm not too comfortable with the govt spending tax money on medical research that only the rich will be able to afford. Let steve jobs pay for the research that could have saved his life. no reason i should be pyaing for it.. i'd never be able to afford it.
Honestly that would outbreak as a bigger form of racism. Also Neanderthals aren't that comparable homo sapiens. That would be something like planet of the apes. To take back Mammoths is fine but Neanderthals wouldn't survive or even evolp to long in this modern world.
An interesting question. I wonder if they'd be counted as human for the purposes of cloning laws. I think there'd be a lot of scientific knowledge to gain, but I can't help but see large batch production leading to massive slavery and bigotry on an unprecedented level, which is really rather horrifying.
They have been extinct due to evolution for a reason. And we do have some good things like some immunity.
If the evolution of life was a river we needed to cross safely, Neanderthals was a rock we can jump to and launch from instead of taking extra time to have our bodies adapt to their environment.
But it came with a Cost. Stuff like wisdom teeth.
So no, let’s not go do that.
I see no reason. They were not lost in the recent Mass Extinction, like megafauna here. We replaced them as a superior species (Ohh Noohhhh!!! Homo Sapiens Supremacy!!!) But I would bring back Mammoths and other large animals. Africa was spared the Mass Extinction, which is why their fauna are so lush.
Scientifically there's no point in doing that. They went extinct for a reason.
When any species develops a more advanced and evolved line of itself, it's creation is followed by the eradication of its less evolved species.
Neanderthals went extinct when homo sapiens i. e us, came into the picture.
As much as would love to see Homo Neanderthal get revived along with sabers and mammoths, all they will be is nothing more than test subjects and curiosities. Wouldn't be able to live as they did 25,000 years ago. They'd be us but in a different package.
No. It would be cruel. They’re extinct. They weren’t made to survive in this environment. They wouldn’t be able to compete with Homo sapiens in the human economy, but they’re too human like to fit in with the animals. What would they do?
I mean… Science is capable of doing it. We already have their whole genome mapped out. But what would be the point? It would make things worse, not better.
For what reason? Study them? Put in cages? Brains aren't the same, couldn't be a part of society without a lot of training to take care of them, so no... Worlds is already complicated enough.
Why would ou bring back a species that we were in competition with? There's enough conflict going on already without having a different species here as well.
I feel like we evolved away from that for a reason? Probably wouldn't be a great world for them to live in today, just by design.
They died out for a reason from natural selection, I don't think so, it seems unethical.
Why not we can all get along now and gang up against them be 100 years before they smart enough to ask for equal rights you people ask the dumbest questions proves that your just educated dumb fucks that dont know shit
We have enough trump supporters to deal with. We don't need to go cloning more.
For what purpose. We already have enough mindless people in this world. Why do we need more to riot, burn, and loot like they were Genghis Kahn?
We already have racial strife and can't get along as it is, and adding Neanderthals into the picture would make it even worse.
