German Scientists Reconstructing Neanderthal Genetic Code

Scientists in Germany hope to construct a complete blueprint of the Neanderthal genetic code within two years, a step which could one day lead to enabling our long-lost prehistoric cousins to populate the earth again. The irony is not lost on scientists, many of whom believe it was our own species which killed off the Neanderthals 30,000 years ago. Now, thanks to us, Neanderthals may live again.

A significant first step towards sequencing the Neanderthal genome has already been taken by two teams investigating the same 38,000- year-old fossil bones from Croatia.
