Ok...I know there is some sort of moral issue that I should be aware of.

But...

Screw it! I so want to meet a neanderthal...even a recreated one.

I bet the cave girl wouldn't be so happy though.

If it survived infancy...that is.

Creating a semi-Neanderthal for purposes of research is likely unethical. They were sentient people. Any plans to 'resurrect' would need to take into consideration quality of life.

Agreed. Why 'semi-Neanderthal, though? Couldn't a clone be borne?

Or, if male and female DNA could be sequenced, a normal one?

I wrote semi because a 100% Neanderthal would require 100% genetic material of Neanderthal. If a human (homo sapiens sapiens) surrogate gestated the kid, it wouldn't be a full Neanderthal.

I could be wrong and if you know otherwise feel free to give me a slap
