Wonderful picture this. It looks like an antique photograph with all the artifice suggesting that maybe someone actually found a living Neanderthal and was able to photograph it. Now if they are completing a DNA sequence does this mean that as the technology progresses, there is a chance that we will bring them back? And what ethical considerations will that raise? Will Neanderthals have human rights? It may be a joke at the moment but it will happen. I suppose that fact that it was possible though uncommon for Neanderthals to breed with Humans is the deciding factor in what rights should be given to any such creature that we produce. Maybe we should sort out ensuring that all Humans get those rights first. PC rant over.
Currently listening to something which the NME once described as a record which if bought would effectively mean the end of the purchaser as a questioning human being. It was nice knowing you. I know I'm not cool anyway so who cares. And I can't be bothered to write any more today anyway.
