Wanted: Surrogate Mother for Neanderthal Baby

**Jimmy Marr** · January 19th, 2013

GenomeWeb caught what must be an interesting Q&A with George Church in Germany’s Spiegel Online (I can’t personally attest to the original story as it is behind a paywall). The Harvard Medical School geneticist is quoted as saying that eventually, an “adventurous female human” will be needed to be the surrogate mother for the first Neanderthal baby in some 30,000 years.

This isn’t the first time Church has talked publically about cloning a Neanderthal, or at least a near-Neanderthal. In 2009, when the Neanderthal genome was first reported, the New York Times described a scenario in which a current day human genome could be tweaked into the “Neanderthal equivalent” with tools of molecular biology. Eventually, this could lead to a Neanderthal-like embryo in need of a surrogate mother.

While the idea of reviving Neanderthals may sound farfetched, take for example the work of biologists to clone endangered or extinct non-human animals (see “Stem-Cell Engineering Offers a Lifeline to Endangered Species”). In 2009, the extinct bucardo, a subspecies Spanish ibex, was cloned from a frozen skin sample. The newborn died immediately due to respiratory failure, but its birth suggests that resurrecting extinct species may be possible.

I hear Heidi Klum has a womb to rent. Hell knows she has experience breeding primitive things.

Why would anyone want to resurrect an extinct hominid species? We have enough problems as it is with niggers, beaners, kikes, etc.

With a human mother, it wouldn't exactly be an extinct species. It'd be a hybrid. And if my suspicious are correct their are relatively high concentrations of them present in certain ethnicities today.

The only likely difference is that the Neanderthal contribution must come from the female in the case of the ethnicity I'm thinking of.

Touché, old chap, touché.

Neanderthals still walk amongst us, just lookaround.

The neandertals, while somewhat primitive, contributed to the formation of early caucasians in the mid east, after interbreding with khoisanids, this cross created the ones today known as armenoids, who later evolved into the nordic races further north, like the cro-magnon.

Congoids on the other hand were formed by mixture of khoisanids (the oldest humans) and an extremely primitive and simian hominid, much more primitive than the neandertals, or even late erectus, this hominid would have been very large considering the large bodies of congoids.

In Brief

The origin of our genus, Homo, is one of the biggest mysteries facing scholars of human evolution.
Based on the meager evidence available, scientists have surmised that Homo arose in East Africa, with Lucy’s species, Australopithecus afarensis, giving rise to the founding member of our lineage, Homo habilis.
Recently discovered fossils from a site northwest of Johannesburg, South Africa, could upend that scenario. The fossils represent a previously unknown species of human with an amalgam of australopithecine and Homo traits that suggest to its discoverers that it could be the ancestor of Homo.
