Assuming brain changes only, more like: looks like a chimpanzee, can't really talk due to throat limitations, can't walk very well, but likes to read and write

- etiam 9y agoI see his chimp hybrid and raise him from hominid to hominin. The Homo sapiens neanderthalensis genome is complete enough by now that we could arguably do the same thing with a Neanderthal man. I think that could well be more informative to mankind's understanding of itself, and likely to cause less suffering for the created individuals. Not that I particularly agree that either is a good idea.
- AstralStorm 9y agoAttempting to clone a Neanderthal hybrid (because there is no Neanderthal mother anymore so epigenetic is wrong) would probably be a better idea. Should tell us more about their capabilities. They should also be relatively possible to integrate into society. As opposed to uplifted chimpanzee.

- jhanschoo 9y agoWhat would be interesting is if a humanzee turns out perhaps to be just as intelligent and perhaps fitter than humans due to hybrid vigor? Nobody really knows how intelligent a humanzee might bee.
