Germans, Americans Attempt to Reconstruct Neanderthal Genome

Researchers in Germany said Thursday that they planned to collaborate with an American company in an effort to reconstruct the genome of Neanderthals, the archaic human species that occupied Europe from 300,000 years ago to 30,000 years ago until being displaced by modern humans.
Long a forlorn hope, the sequencing, or decoding, of Neanderthal DNA suddenly seems possible because of a combination of analytic work on ancient DNA by Svante Paabo, of the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig, Germany, and a new method of DNA sequencing developed by a Connecticut company, 454 Life Sciences.
The initial genome to be decoded comes from 45,000-year-old Neanderthal bones found in Croatia, though bones from other sites may be analyzed later.

When the last jew is finally gone will some mad scientist want to bring them back?

No. There will be enough stuffed specimens in the Museum of Jewish Crimes to satisfy the most ardent curiosity.

Why Waste all that money and time when you can just study NIGGERS
