A few months ago I pondered what it would have been like if other species within the genus Homo had survived into contemporary times. I hypothesized that based on our poor track record of violent conflict modern humans would have treated them very poorly. We may have a chance to see if I am right, because Harvard geneticist and synthetic biology pioneer George Church claims he could bring Neanderthals into the 21st century.

Thawing out and bringing new life to this 11 year old post because I just read Ghost Species by James Bradley, a surprisingly affecting novel about what happens when a billionaire-sponsored team of scientists create a Neanderthal girl in 21st Century when the world is on the edge of a climate crisis. Worth a read.
