Wanted: 'Adventurous woman' to give birth to Neanderthal man

"Professor George Church of Harvard Medical School believes he can reconstruct Neanderthal DNA,His ambitious plan requires a human volunteer willing to allow the DNA to be put into stem cells, then a human embryo"

Full story here vvv

I found it a little late but what's your opinion on this xD? On one end it seems insane but then again they could raise him up and train him then modern man could test their skills against the man of old, we could have our very own Pickle xD!

um.. 😑

I guess it goes to show you that just being a Harvard professor doesn't preclude you being something of an idiot.

From what I've read and watched on studies on Neanderthal bone/body structure, they were on average about 3 times stronger than modern man.

I see a future where some sports are dominated by steroid pumped versions of these fools.

I would like to date an adventurous, kind, pretty women.

I don't know about the rest of that shit. It would make for some kinky role playing though. 😈

So basketball, futbol, short distance sprinting, and swimming would remain ours.

I have to admit that this(from the comments section) really cracked me up.

That guy's comment got voted down. I wonder why--are there people there who think that Church's ideas aren't nonsense?

yeah, we could train, them...,kinda like pets. Make them do all of our bidding. Genetically engineering slaves...,That is most certainly the next best innovation mankind needs. We can't live amongst ourselves with enough peace to last long enough for a social event. Yeah, this is just as good of idea as breeding dinosaurs with heightened intelligence.

We could use them as supersoldiers. Put them in power armor and call 'em Spartans.

Ah the daily fail. It never ceases to amaze me that the website is the most used news website in the world when in the UK, where it originates, the print version is ridiculed constantly for being a scaremongering joke that has only about 4 different front page stories. Immigrants, princess Diana, things that give you cancer and Madeleine McCann stories.

yep, couldn't have put it better myself Jaden.

Eugenics has changed our thought process believe it or not.

Whereas once we were animalistic, unafraid of being nude, of raping a female, of eating an animal raw, of sifting through flooding marshlands in a tornado and lightning storm, of fighting off lions with a compound fracture in your wrist.

We could erase delusions of morality, fear, to survive in ways that our culture prohibits, this went to the very chemistry of our minds, and would be next to impossible for modern man to accomplish.

Some of these types of actual genetic differences lies in autistics, believe it or not. In fact, many animals with the autism gene are superior at skill related tasks to their peers.

Emphasis on 'some'. I've seen some allegations that they'd have better endurance too, but their shorter legs would make them crappy sprinters, and I doubt they could dunk.

All very true.

In fact evolution is producing better records in those specific sports, faster sprint times, etc.

However, as far as pure physical resilience, you can never beat a neanderthal.

how have eugenics changed our though process so far dolos? what eugenics are you even talking about?

is that specifically to Dolos or can I go off on a Galton rant?

That's not eugenics, that's evolution.

The "autism gene"? Really?

careful guys, there were almost certainly top down selective pressures, "eugenics", at play in the development of homo sapiens.

single gene? no, unlikely, and there is little to support Dolos' claim.

However, the heritability of certain linguistic and attentional traits does suggest there is a genetic component to autism.
