Re-Creating a “cohort” of Neanderthal species: It is feasible, but Why?
Our current human species is uniform. The mono-culture is source of extinction when facing worldwide epidemics and a serious degradation in climatic changes.
Consequently, re-introducing a former species that was wiped out 30,000 years ago might regulate the survival of mankind.
It appears that the Neanderthal species had a larger brain (but we are not sure if the network of his synapses was complex enough to match this current species).
A skeletal, up to one million years old, can be useful for the re-introduction of a lost species.
Scientist George Church (58 of age) would recuperate the DNA to submit it to the sequencing of its genome.
The genome is later cut into 10,000 fragment to be synthesized.
These synthetic fragments are introduced in a stump cell. By repeating the operation as often as necessary, the descendants are generated from the stump cells.
These cells will be inserted in the uterus to develop.
Et voila! Neanderthal species coming back to live among us and protect mankind from a potential extinction.
Church is a pioneer in synthetic biology, a discipline trying to unite complex systems which function Not necessarily according with existing ones in Nature.
In the 1980’s, this professor in Harvard was at the origin of the Human Genome Project, the decryption of DNA of human body.
Church explains:
“All the information in the world (about 1.8 zettabit) can be stored in 4 grams of DNA. The DNA storage can resist desert climate for 400,000 years.
The scientists of Boston are using an decryption archive system that needs no cells to work, and a coding system that enables the location of the DNA extract in the files.
Thus, strong with the availability of DNA sequencer and a computer, the files could be read.
A mother chimpanzee could be substituted in the cloning process.
A long journey to learn the evolution of the Past.
