FRANKFURT, Germany - German and U.S. scientists have launched a project to reconstruct the Neanderthal genome, the Max-Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology said Wednesday.

The project, which involves isolating genetic fragments from fossils of the prehistoric beings who originally inhabited Europe, is being carried out at the Leipzig-based institute.


I wonder if the results can confirm or deny the Neanderthal theory of Asperger's. :?

The Neandertals never died out. There are several of them that live next door to me.
