question - Jurassic Park (book and movie) proposed the concept of recreating dinosaurs based on knowing the sequence of dinosaur genomes. We now have the sequence of a Neanderthal (ancient hominid species that went extinct approximately 40,000 years ago) genome that is as accurate as the genome of a modern human. Therefore we may have the potential to recreate a Neanderthal – would you be interested in trying to recreate extinct species from genome sequences? question - Jurassic Park (book and movie) proposed the concept of recreating dinosaurs based on knowing the sequence of dinosaur genomes.

Therefore we may have the potential to recreate a Neanderthal – would you be interested in trying to recreate extinct species from genome sequences? Solution The book and the movie Jurassic Park presented a masterpiece in sci-fi which ignited young minds with the spark of innovation and engineering in the field of genetic manipulation of organisms. The below are the points in response to the given question. (1) In my knowledge of science philosophy, creating and innovating in science is not (rather should not be) ONLY limited by theoretical or practical feasibilities but rather by ethics. Human is a social animal and is bound and institutionalized within its filial and geographical boundaries. Creating extinct races of humans, such as Neanderthals, will certainly pose complexities of maternal and paternal relations. Such an individual will face issues of emotional, psychological and cultural development. (2) Another aspect of looking at the given question would be related to the individual\'s acclimatization in the present earth environs. The Neanderthals used to inhabit the earth about 40000 ybp. Given the present time\'s phenomenon of global climate change and warming one might believe that the set of climatic parameters 40000 ybp were certainly and completely different that those of the present. Creating and bringing an individual of 40000 years before time would certainly be an act of pure science experiment without social and human perspectives kept in mind. Thirdly, the important aspect would be the place of the individual in the global food chain. The species in nature develop so as to fit in a crucial and defined role and place in energy transfer in ecological food web. In a nutshell, such created Neanderthals would be out of place and time in the current world scenarios. They will face climatic, cultural and ecological shock. Such individuals will be only a retrogressive science experiment with perhaps no contribution in research and development..
