21st century advances in genetics allows us to recover Neanderthal DNA from dust. Biological experimentation splicing neanderthal genes into mice has already begun. There are now multiple projects building Neander-oids: small clumps of gene-edited human brain cells. They're not true brains, but develop electrical connections. In 2019 they'd been connected to robots controllable through signalling. These machines can walk and possibly track neural development. All these raise profound concerns. This is all science happening in the dark.

There's no agreed ethics, code of practice or transparency.
