The New York Times has just posted an article entitled "Scientists Plan to Rebuild Neanderthal Genome."
I especially liked the last paragraph:
"If the Neanderthal genome were fully recovered, it might in principle be possible to bring the species back from extinction by inserting the Neanderthal genome into a human egg and having volunteers bear Neanderthal infants. There would, however, be great technical and ethical barriers to any such venture."
