That’s what they want you to think.
Sorry, I confused dead with extinct for some reason. Supposedly a carp was cloned in the 60s! My point was that even with a good sample of DNA (like the ibex) there are other hurdles to go through. The neanderthal DNA isnt even at the level of these other failed attempts.
Have there been any viable trans-species clones? That is, clones grown in the womb of a different animal? That seems to be the hurdle to overcome. The succesful clonings Ive read about are always using the same species for egg and womb duties.
So you’re sayin’ they’re from the South?
Betcha you don’t know what an Ivy League legacy admission is either.
Althugh off target, might I point out that, on average, Neanderthals had larger brains (or anyway, larger cranial capacity) than H. sap. Not much larger, maybe 10%, but it makes you wonder. The really fascinating question is whether they had human type language. There is that mutation spread through a family in England that shows it is possible to have human type general intelligence (no G. Bush jokes here, please) without being able to deal with the complexities of human language. I know this is supposedly politically incorrect, but I believe that humans have specialized brain modules to handle various aspects of language and there is some evidence to back that up.
Yes. Two banteng calves (an endangered wild cattle species) were cloned from cells frozen for more than 20 years.
Why do you think that is politically incorrect? Seems like a pretty safe statement to me (logically and politically).
