The Neanderthal, also known as homo neanderthalensis, could be up for making a come-back. The Neanderthal genome was sequenced in 2010. Meanwhile, new gene-editing tools have been developed and technical barriers to 'de-extinction' are being overcome. So, technically, yes, we could attempt the cloning of a Neanderthal.
How do you get Neanderthals back?
The most likely way to bring back a Neanderthal with today's technology is to start out with a human cell and slowly, bit by bit, change it into a Neanderthal one. Most likely we would do this with something called CRISPR/Cas9. This technology makes it relatively easy to change DNA.
Is it rare to have Neanderthal DNA?
The percentage of Neanderthal DNA in modern humans is zero or close to zero in people from African populations, and is about 1 to 2 percent in people of European or Asian background. ... (Much less is known about the Denisovans because scientists have uncovered fewer fossils of these ancient people.)
