I searched PubMed, and couldn't find any evidence that anyone has successfully cultured Neanderthal cells yet. It looks like they are closing in on the Neandethal genome, but they don't have a conclusive sequence just yet. I'm very interested in seeing a wooly mammoth some day, and I think that is far more likely to happen. Aparrently, a group got mammoth nuclei to take in some mouse oocytes in 2009. However, I would think that elephant oocytes would be the optimal choice when it comes to a real attempt to bring them back.We have lots of Neanderthal parts around the lab. We are creating Neanderthal cells.
