They're usually thought of as a brutish, primitive species.d everAll the talk seems to be about what crazy woman would ever volunteer (but we're sure someone will)?

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.
He said: ‘Now I need an adventurous female human.
Call me a predictable prude but should that be the question to ask? At least the volunteering woman has free will in the matter. The clone won't.
