Want to have a Caveman-Baby?

Ladies, would you like a chance at being the mom of a Neanderthal? Professor George Church of Harvard University says that all he needs is "...an adventurous female human."

Professor Church says that he has extracted enough DNA from fossils to reconstruct the DNA of the extinct human species.  Neanderthals are believed to have gone extinct about 33,000 years ago.

"We can clone all kinds of mammals, so it's very likely that we could clone a human," he says in an interview with Der Spiegel, a German magazine. "Why shouldn't we be able to do so?" [I'm pretty sure I've already seen this happen on a SyFy channel Saturday night movie and it didn't turn out well]

While the technology for cloning does exist,  many countries have already banned human cloning.
