preserved 40,000 year old baby Mammoth suggest another possibility

[American Horse]

A baby woolly mammoth, frozen in soil for 40,000 years in Siberia, was so well preserved that traces of her mother's milk were still in her stomach.

Very interesting; I'm fascinated with the possibility and hopeful of eventually finding Neandertal remains similarly preserved. Their geographical habitat was much the same; perhaps not in Siberia, but on the steppes of Eurasia; a tarpit or bog near the edge of some long gone glacier might be where they could turn up.

what about "arty" the missing link they have just found...but yes to find a perserved ancestor would be a magic jump in the fields of research.

Factoid: Next Spring National Geographic is going to send an expedition to a WWF match anywhere in Alabama in search of a living Neandertal.

I've always said that "he's alive and well, and living in Chicago"

And then what... clone them? You have to admit, cloning a Mammoth or cave man would be a lot more exciting than just finding one. I know the moral dilemma surrounding such an action, but I'd say go for it.

Like you I'd considered that, and after all we would not be cloning a human being, not even a pre-human, but only a sub-human. Still I would go for it only if a population could be restored and an effort was made to give them a habitat where they could develop a society of their own. It's all about science, right?
