The Harvard Professor Who is Seeking an 'Adventurous Woman' to Give Birth to a Neanderthal Man
They're usually thought of as a brutish, primitive species. So what woman would want to give birth to a Neanderthal baby? Yet this incredible scenario is the plan of one of the world's leading geneticists, who is seeking a volunteer to help bring man's long-extinct close relative back to life.
Professor George Church of Harvard Medical School believes that 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 the dinosaurs in the film were created in a laboratory, Professor Church's ambitious plan requires a human volunteer.
Scientists say that his plan is theoretically possible, although in Britain, like most countries, human reproductive cloning is a criminal offense.
