  1. Cloning Neanderthal DNA Bringing a Species Out of Extinction By, Rochelle Yantz

  2. Background The lonely Homo SapienSapien… tellsomeonetoday.blogspot.com

  3. Background George Church synthetic biologist and professor at Harvard Medical School www.canada.com

  4. Church’s Propositions & Reasoning “Technologies are developing faster than ever before… Reading and writing DNA is now about a million times faster than seven or eight years ago” –George Church • Enlarged craniums could lead to different thought processes • Creates genetic diversity to decrease susceptibility to epidemics • Creates a more robust human species www.ibri.org

  5. Types of Cloning

  6. How to Bring Back a Neanderthal Sequence the Neanderthal genome Divide genome 10,000x to synthesize Introduce synthesized DNA to human stem cell Repeat (eventually the stem cell line will closely correlate a Neanderthal’s Introduce DNA to surrogate mother Neanderthal remains www.studyblue.com

  7. Ethical Barriers • Lacking a sense of identity • Living under societal scrutiny • Violating religious views on how humans are created • Too aggressive to interact with society • “Frankenstein” Complex herocomplex.latimes.com

  8. Genetic Barriers “Are we putting it together correctly?” - Ron Crystal, geneticist at Weill Cornell Medical College • Monogenic Disorders • Cystic Fibrosis • Sickle Cell Anemia • Fragile X Syndrome • Huntington’s Disease • Etc. • http://www.rightdiagnosis.com/medical/monogenic_disease.htm www.mitochondrialdnatesting.com

  9. What would you do if you came face-to-face with Homo Neanderthalensis?http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9NPWOMEmP-s thebibleistheotherside.wordpress.com
