There is some hope of sequencing actual neanderthal chromosomal DNA, but I don't know what stage that is at. It will be very interesting if this is successful, with implications for the creation/evolution debate, as currently creationists either lump neanderthals as human or ape, the world being necessarily binary in that regards form their POV. The genetics will place it somewhere in an island of its own, but closer to humans is my WAG based on the mDNA results so far. I find it interesting that there were three types of humans that initially developed. Jim is right that life in general is hard to produce but sentient life is nearly off the chart. Does that fact have the same effect on scientists as it does me? ted
