1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:02,000
Speaker 1: Come see the caveman.

2
00:00:02,279 --> 00:00:02,599
Speaker 2: Boy.

3
00:00:03,400 --> 00:00:07,120
Speaker 1: This sucks. It's one more thing I'm.

4
00:00:10,360 --> 00:00:12,680
Speaker 2: In the What in the world was this one man

5
00:00:12,800 --> 00:00:14,280
Speaker 2: play you unleashed.

6
00:00:13,800 --> 00:00:18,720
Speaker 1: For the team, a somewhat lighthearted portrayal of what it

7
00:00:18,760 --> 00:00:25,360
Speaker 1: would be like if scientists actually produced a Neanderthal in

8
00:00:25,400 --> 00:00:29,639
Speaker 1: the modern world. There are so many scientific and ethical

9
00:00:29,680 --> 00:00:32,160
Speaker 1: questions connected to this, but one of them would be

10
00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:35,319
Speaker 1: what kind of life would that being have?

11
00:00:35,720 --> 00:00:37,519
Speaker 2: Can I make it do my laundry and stuff like that?

12
00:00:38,159 --> 00:00:47,080
Speaker 1: Oh my god, this sucks again, So we'll get there.

13
00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:50,960
Speaker 1: We mentioned this during the Ang Show, the radio show,

14
00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:54,080
Speaker 1: but didn't have time to deal with all of it.

15
00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:57,920
Speaker 1: This is probably not gonna happen. The same crack pots

16
00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:01,120
Speaker 1: who claim to clone a dire wolf and a wooly

17
00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:04,400
Speaker 1: mammoth but just produced like a slightly hairier elephant that

18
00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:05,520
Speaker 1: was slightly.

19
00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:09,520
Speaker 2: Rt the dire wolf in particular. That was a giant

20
00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:10,679
Speaker 2: news story that day.

21
00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:15,600
Speaker 1: Everybody reported that, Yeah, yeah, But so these people, in

22
00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:19,400
Speaker 1: a desperate attempt for more more publicity, are talking about

23
00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:25,200
Speaker 1: cloning or not cloning, but producing a Neanderthal. If you

24
00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:28,800
Speaker 1: are not familiar with the history of pre human humans

25
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:32,880
Speaker 1: and human human humans during that period, Neanderthals were one

26
00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:39,000
Speaker 1: of several very closely related sorts of human beings on Earth,

27
00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:43,520
Speaker 1: and indeed, modern people these days share up to have

28
00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:46,680
Speaker 1: four percent of their DNA with Neanderthals. I have mentioned

29
00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:49,240
Speaker 1: that I Joe Getty at one point was in the

30
00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:53,520
Speaker 1: ninety ninth percentile of modern people in terms of how

31
00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:58,120
Speaker 1: much Neanderthal DNA I have, which explains my fits of

32
00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:01,080
Speaker 1: rage and my enormous head really doesn't. As far as

33
00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:04,800
Speaker 1: we knew, Neanderthals were smart as smart as or smarter

34
00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:06,440
Speaker 1: than Homo sapiens back in the day.

35
00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:08,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, definitely, And as.

36
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:11,800
Speaker 1: We mentioned, the perception that Neanderthals were just stupid lunkens

37
00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:15,320
Speaker 1: was one racist scientist a brit right in the eighteen hundreds.

38
00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:18,760
Speaker 2: Correct, But yeah, Neanderthals were every bit as smart as

39
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:21,680
Speaker 2: Homo sapiens, if not smarter, And it could be a

40
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:25,040
Speaker 2: disease that for whatever reason genetically they couldn't and wipe

41
00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:27,640
Speaker 2: them out and has nothing to do with anything else

42
00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:29,480
Speaker 2: or who knows.

43
00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:34,760
Speaker 1: What right, and so now they're making noises. The head guy,

44
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:38,320
Speaker 1: who was a Harvard researcher a decade ago, he said

45
00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:42,040
Speaker 1: he was confident in Neanderthal resurrection was a near term possibility.

46
00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:46,520
Speaker 1: Others have told Live science dot Com that doing so

47
00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:50,640
Speaker 1: is currently an insurmountably difficult task. But even if we

48
00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:53,080
Speaker 1: could bring them back, there are many reasons we shouldn't,

49
00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:56,160
Speaker 1: they argue. Here's one guy from the University of Kansas said,

50
00:02:56,600 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, it's a woman. I've misgendered her now twice

51
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:02,320
Speaker 1: while talking about her. That is one of the most

52
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:05,760
Speaker 1: unethical things I can possibly think of to attempt.

53
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:07,399
Speaker 2: Ethical stop unethical.

54
00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:07,880
Speaker 1: So not.

55
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:16,720
Speaker 2: A practically bad idea, but unethical. Why is it not ethical? Well, first,

56
00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:20,440
Speaker 2: the technical stuff. You can't just put a Neanderthal genome

57
00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:21,160
Speaker 2: in a human egg.

58
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:25,640
Speaker 1: It just wouldn't work. But one issue with the process

59
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:30,440
Speaker 1: is potential immune system incompatibility. And just you know, I'm

60
00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:32,280
Speaker 1: going to jump to the end here. Our point is

61
00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:35,400
Speaker 1: not discussing whether they're going to unleash Neanderthals in the world.

62
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:37,520
Speaker 1: If you have any interest in science, A lot of

63
00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:41,920
Speaker 1: this stuff is just interesting on its own. So one

64
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:47,440
Speaker 1: issue is potential immune system incompatibility, which often dooms cross

65
00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:51,800
Speaker 1: species pregnancies as the host uterus rejects the fetus.

66
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:55,280
Speaker 2: I think I'm seeing the unethical part coming produce a

67
00:03:56,160 --> 00:04:03,800
Speaker 2: like deformed human or somebody an actual human being neanderthalo's

68
00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:08,080
Speaker 2: opposed to Homo sapien, but a human being that dies

69
00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:09,200
Speaker 2: very early.

70
00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:12,880
Speaker 1: Right. Oh yeah, yeah, all these experiments have that. Oh

71
00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:14,440
Speaker 1: that reminds me. I meant to bring this up on

72
00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:19,120
Speaker 1: the show. But China is now working on gene editing

73
00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:28,640
Speaker 1: higher IQ into kids. Oh, of course, you develop a smarter,

74
00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:31,120
Speaker 1: more hearty super soldier.

75
00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:34,080
Speaker 2: It's a race between that and AI for what's gonna

76
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:34,920
Speaker 2: do mankind?

77
00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:36,920
Speaker 1: Maybe also maybe they team up.

78
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:40,799
Speaker 2: You start unleashing all kinds of extraordinarily high IQ human

79
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:43,880
Speaker 2: beings into the world. What's your experience with people with

80
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:47,360
Speaker 2: super high IQ that they're all just reasonable, wonderful humans

81
00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:48,919
Speaker 2: that are great at everything in life.

82
00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:50,280
Speaker 1: And happy and relaxed.

83
00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:52,039
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly.

84
00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:55,080
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah. It's still debated, by the way, and I

85
00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:57,120
Speaker 1: don't know much about this debate. I could click on

86
00:04:57,120 --> 00:04:59,359
Speaker 1: the link, but who has the time Whether modern humans

87
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:04,440
Speaker 1: and neanderthal can be called separate species or not. Anyway,

88
00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:07,520
Speaker 1: although humans and Neanderthals did successfully interbreed in the past,

89
00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:10,800
Speaker 1: today there's at most four percent Neanderthal DNA in some

90
00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:14,320
Speaker 1: human groups, and they think it might not have been beneficial,

91
00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:16,320
Speaker 1: so it was slowly purged out of the genome through

92
00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:20,600
Speaker 1: the eons. Anyway, mention this on the show, I found

93
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:24,760
Speaker 1: it fascinating. Experts have discovered that humans y chromosomes. That's

94
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:28,320
Speaker 1: your you're a fellow chromosome, no matter how you identify,

95
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:32,200
Speaker 1: because you gantens your sex. Anyway, the humans y chromosome

96
00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:37,159
Speaker 1: lacks Neanderthal DNA, and there ought to be tiny bits

97
00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:40,000
Speaker 1: at least, but it completely lacks it, which may point

98
00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:45,040
Speaker 1: to a fundamental immune system incompatibility between male Neanderthal fetuses

99
00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:48,400
Speaker 1: and the female Homo sapiens carrying them, even in the

100
00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:54,880
Speaker 1: distant past. In other words, Homo sapiens girl gets with hot,

101
00:05:54,920 --> 00:06:00,239
Speaker 1: hot Neanderthal dude like myself. If they produce a girl,

102
00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:04,839
Speaker 1: it may well survive. But there's a much much smaller

103
00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:10,080
Speaker 1: chance that a boy Neanderthal would survive. And obviously, you

104
00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:12,800
Speaker 1: know through the years, you just a birth rate that

105
00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:16,599
Speaker 1: fixed and low. Your your genetic material would die out.

106
00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:19,600
Speaker 1: And they say a genetic variant red blood cells and

107
00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:22,599
Speaker 1: Neanderthal human hybrid mothers might have resulted in high rates

108
00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:28,080
Speaker 1: of miscarriage. So those girls produced by the aforementioned for

109
00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:31,839
Speaker 1: really hot looking Homo sapien girl and the manly manly

110
00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:35,680
Speaker 1: Neanderthal might not have been able to reproduce successfully in

111
00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:36,480
Speaker 1: the same numbers.

112
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:39,680
Speaker 2: Neanderthal has had bigger brains. Your brain takes a ton

113
00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:41,640
Speaker 2: of your energy in your body, which I didn't realize.

114
00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:44,680
Speaker 2: And they just couldn't feed themselves is one of the theories.

115
00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:49,320
Speaker 2: They just couldn't possibly get themselves enough calories every day

116
00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:50,400
Speaker 2: to feed their big brain.

117
00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:53,400
Speaker 1: Oh wow, yeah, I read that the other day. How

118
00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:56,520
Speaker 1: much of your your energy your metabolized.

119
00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:57,200
Speaker 2: Energy or something.

120
00:06:57,240 --> 00:07:01,000
Speaker 1: It's amazing, right, yeah, yeah, that is crazy. Oh, Papa Bah.

121
00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:03,960
Speaker 1: Another root would be cloning, but in order to clone

122
00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:07,000
Speaker 1: one of her extinct cousins, you'd need a live Neanderthal cell.

123
00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:12,840
Speaker 1: That ain't happening. So with crisper technology, it is possible

124
00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:15,800
Speaker 1: to modify a human cell genome to make it more

125
00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:19,960
Speaker 1: similar to Neanderthal. And that's what this business, this guy

126
00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:22,280
Speaker 1: firm Colossals modify.

127
00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:27,360
Speaker 2: Why why other than to charge people to look at

128
00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:29,520
Speaker 2: it in a cage. I can't come up with any

129
00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:30,720
Speaker 2: reason why you would do this.

130
00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:35,600
Speaker 1: Hence my fascinating one man play. Come see the Caveman Boy.

131
00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:40,080
Speaker 1: This sucks exactly what is the kid just destined for

132
00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:45,160
Speaker 1: a sideshow, right, Otherwise, what's the point. So with Crisper,

133
00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:48,320
Speaker 1: it wouldn't be a Neanderthal, it'd be a human with

134
00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:50,920
Speaker 1: a lot of Neanderthal characteristics.

135
00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:55,200
Speaker 2: Now, maybe what we don't really know. One thing I've

136
00:07:55,280 --> 00:08:00,960
Speaker 2: learned about from reading Homo Sapiens and then my son

137
00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:04,360
Speaker 2: is superint evolution stuff for whatever reason, humans and dinosaurs

138
00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:06,880
Speaker 2: and all that sort of stuff. There's almost nothing that's

139
00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:11,640
Speaker 2: agreed upon. Practically everything you hear is like a fifteen

140
00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:14,480
Speaker 2: percent of people believe this. So if you hear you

141
00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:17,400
Speaker 2: know things, and you if you hear anything about dinosaurs

142
00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:19,040
Speaker 2: or humans or anything, and you think that's not what

143
00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:21,800
Speaker 2: I heard, Yeah, it's probably not because there are lots

144
00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:23,720
Speaker 2: of different theories and are constantly changing.

145
00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:29,960
Speaker 1: Right. Yeah, So they think in maybe twenty years crisper

146
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:34,160
Speaker 1: technology you could probably maybe have a baby with holy

147
00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:39,520
Speaker 1: neanderthal genome. Yah. Wouldn't that be great? So we can want,

148
00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:42,160
Speaker 1: says this scientist. But I don't think we will do it,

149
00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:45,640
Speaker 1: even if it's plausible, for both ethical and legal reasons.

150
00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:49,800
Speaker 1: Legal de extincting, de extincting.

151
00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:51,480
Speaker 2: You can't give me a ticket. I'm not a human,

152
00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:55,480
Speaker 2: I'm not a Homo sapien. There's no last Neanderthal's driving

153
00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:57,400
Speaker 2: this fast? Is that what the legal reasons?

154
00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:01,640
Speaker 1: Wow, that would cause the Supreme Court to dig deep

155
00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:05,040
Speaker 1: into the law books. Wasn't it, Uh, de extincting Neanderthals

156
00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:10,480
Speaker 1: is ethically repugnant, experts told Live Science. It's morally abhorrent

157
00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:12,880
Speaker 1: even conceive of trying to create another kind of human

158
00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:15,800
Speaker 1: based on DNA using uncertain technologies to which they could

159
00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:19,000
Speaker 1: not consent. Raff said, Ah, I don't know if I

160
00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:23,160
Speaker 1: buy that. So they're not even looking into the You're

161
00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:27,240
Speaker 1: gonna have a whole bunch of deformed kid's awfulness there.

162
00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:30,520
Speaker 1: They just in general think it's unethical to bring another

163
00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:33,480
Speaker 1: human species onto the planet.

164
00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:35,160
Speaker 2: I don't know, because it is. I don't know if

165
00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:37,280
Speaker 2: I quite get what's the ethics around that.

166
00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:41,400
Speaker 1: Well, okay, they do get a little bit into these

167
00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:45,560
Speaker 1: experiments like Dolly the sheep famously, the clone sheep that

168
00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:52,840
Speaker 1: was after dozens wasn't it of deformed horrible poor creatures

169
00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:54,000
Speaker 1: that never could survive?

170
00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:56,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, doing that that were still born or born.

171
00:09:56,360 --> 00:09:59,400
Speaker 1: Alive and rapidly died and the rest of it. It

172
00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:01,600
Speaker 1: took him a lot of hacks to get an actual sheep.

173
00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:05,040
Speaker 1: But here we go. Even if the Neanderthal embryos could

174
00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:07,680
Speaker 1: develop into an otherwise healthy Neanderthal, the life they would

175
00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:10,360
Speaker 1: face once in our world would be unbearably.

176
00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:11,319
Speaker 2: Bleak, like try to get hired.

177
00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:14,960
Speaker 1: Being the only Neanderthal raised in the twenty first century

178
00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:17,479
Speaker 1: world of humans would likely to be lonely and isolating,

179
00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:20,640
Speaker 1: possibly like the lives of the last Neanderthals in Europe.

180
00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:25,040
Speaker 2: You don't know that. Chicks might dig it. You might

181
00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:25,880
Speaker 2: be a rock star.

182
00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:29,280
Speaker 1: This is all seems very speculative to me.

183
00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:31,200
Speaker 2: It might be the thing you're going on all the

184
00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:36,439
Speaker 2: talk shows. Big guest tonight, the world's only Neanderthal comes out?

185
00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:41,480
Speaker 1: Who what brings you? So the k Man outfit? Ooga

186
00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:45,000
Speaker 1: ooga booga. Just kidding, Jimmy, it's great to be with

187
00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:48,720
Speaker 1: you tonight. What an honor this is. I love your work, right.

188
00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:52,160
Speaker 2: Chicks wanting to get with the Neanderthal man on Earth?

189
00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:59,240
Speaker 1: Oh yeah? The rumors, would you know, circulate rappity? Oh yeah,

190
00:10:59,440 --> 00:10:59,920
Speaker 1: like the bat.

191
00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:03,360
Speaker 2: But you know I need I needed a four will

192
00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:06,120
Speaker 2: drive rugged enough for Minyan with all background you know,

193
00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:07,680
Speaker 2: endorsing Ford or whatever.

194
00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:14,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, but Gus, you'd have to, you'd become globally known,

195
00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:18,800
Speaker 1: so you'd be like a super celebrity and have to

196
00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:20,200
Speaker 1: more or less hide out with.

197
00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:23,839
Speaker 2: The be the biggest celebrity on planet Earth that planet

198
00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:24,920
Speaker 2: Earth has probably ever.

199
00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:29,360
Speaker 1: Seen, right right, Yeah, But I mean like the Bill

200
00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:31,880
Speaker 1: Gates is of the world and the world's biggest movie stars.

201
00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:33,840
Speaker 1: That's the only people you could hang out with, because

202
00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:36,560
Speaker 1: you know they're cool around other celebrities. But you got

203
00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:39,000
Speaker 1: there a gift and Harry by the pool and the

204
00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:41,920
Speaker 1: say shells with Brad Pitt in a squeeze.

205
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:44,040
Speaker 2: You got to give him or her a name also,

206
00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:45,160
Speaker 2: which is be a big deal.

207
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:49,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, but they would they might, you know, choose

208
00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:51,959
Speaker 1: their own name anyway.

209
00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:54,800
Speaker 2: Well one day. That's that's where you do get into

210
00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:59,600
Speaker 2: the ethics. Who who does this person belong to? Well,

211
00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:02,839
Speaker 2: who's the person belonged to? So did they get belong to? Well,

212
00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:05,520
Speaker 2: that's what I'm getting in it belongs to all of us?

213
00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:09,520
Speaker 1: Well, what an idiotic thing, Saint Michael and it was perfect.

214
00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:13,400
Speaker 2: Who doesn't belong to? Maybe it does belong to all

215
00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:16,679
Speaker 2: of us. It's mankind. It's like space exploration or something

216
00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:21,720
Speaker 2: like that. Is it a human start?

217
00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:24,640
Speaker 1: There? Does she have the rights of the fact that

218
00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:26,680
Speaker 1: you even asked, who would it belong to? Who? Do

219
00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:28,720
Speaker 1: I belong to? Nobody?

220
00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:31,280
Speaker 2: But you're a homot sapien, This is not so. Does

221
00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:35,839
Speaker 2: it like dogs belong to individual? Yeah, pet belongs to someone.

222
00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:38,000
Speaker 1: Maybe like America's mascot, basically.

223
00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:42,480
Speaker 2: America's mask. What if he can run really really fast?

224
00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:44,680
Speaker 2: Does he get to compete for Team USA in the Olympics?

225
00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:49,679
Speaker 1: Oh wow wow? So yeah, this part's really speculative. It

226
00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:52,520
Speaker 1: would likely be lonely and isolating. They wouldn't have prior

227
00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:56,280
Speaker 1: generations or peers to learn from. That's that's begging the question.

228
00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:59,480
Speaker 1: It's it's leaping past. The question is is it just

229
00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:03,599
Speaker 1: a a different sort of human but so similar that

230
00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:09,080
Speaker 1: the age almost god? Or would it be more like

231
00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:12,960
Speaker 1: racial differences between a Han Chinese and a black person

232
00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:15,400
Speaker 1: from Africa and like a Swede.

233
00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:17,760
Speaker 2: We'd have to choose their name from when they're a

234
00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:19,800
Speaker 2: little kid, we got to call them something. We can't

235
00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:22,920
Speaker 2: just say hey to you to the only Neanderthal on earth,

236
00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:24,520
Speaker 2: and then like at eighteen, do they get to do

237
00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:25,160
Speaker 2: whatever they want?

238
00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:28,320
Speaker 1: The darker possibility is that we would keep any de

239
00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:31,000
Speaker 1: extincted Neanderthals in zoos like animals.

240
00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:37,040
Speaker 2: Yes, if they throw the feces at us or anything humans,

241
00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:39,800
Speaker 2: I'm I'm not going to throw my pieces. You can

242
00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:42,120
Speaker 2: stand here all day long. I'm not throwing my feces.

243
00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:45,560
Speaker 1: Look, you want me to check my feces, it's going

244
00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:50,080
Speaker 1: to cost you extra give me right. Humans don't have

245
00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:53,040
Speaker 1: a good track record over the centuries of treating other people, well,

246
00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:56,120
Speaker 1: said this ethicist. So I have no confidence that we

247
00:13:56,160 --> 00:13:58,760
Speaker 1: wouldn't be nasty to Neanderthals. I don't think we would

248
00:13:58,760 --> 00:13:59,720
Speaker 1: in the United States.

249
00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:03,760
Speaker 2: No, absolutely, not China will. Yeah they will. They will

250
00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:07,719
Speaker 2: breed whatever until they get the strongest, fastest, whatever, and

251
00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:10,600
Speaker 2: kill off or enslave the other ones.

252
00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:16,000
Speaker 1: Right right, Another ethical problem, and I'm quoting scientists again,

253
00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:18,720
Speaker 1: a Neanderthal being constructed in this way wouldn't be living

254
00:14:18,760 --> 00:14:20,480
Speaker 1: in the past. They would be living in the present

255
00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:24,440
Speaker 1: and in an environment that's neither appropriate nor safe for them. Yeah,

256
00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:27,280
Speaker 1: probably because we don't know anything about how their genes

257
00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:28,880
Speaker 1: reacted with their environment.

258
00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:32,400
Speaker 2: From a from a like disease standpoint, I get that,

259
00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:35,440
Speaker 2: But from a like it's not like they're going to

260
00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:37,400
Speaker 2: like at the age of ten, say where are the

261
00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:40,120
Speaker 2: dinosaurs or something like that. They don't have any of

262
00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:45,120
Speaker 2: the cultural baggage that comes with, right having died out

263
00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:46,440
Speaker 2: two hundred thousand years ago.

264
00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:49,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, what electric?

265
00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:51,680
Speaker 2: Where are these flying machines?

266
00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:54,360
Speaker 1: That's not the way it would work right, right, And

267
00:14:54,400 --> 00:14:57,520
Speaker 1: it's not like they could teach you their Neanderthal language.

268
00:14:57,760 --> 00:15:02,160
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, is it legal to bring back a neanderthal?

269
00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:07,120
Speaker 1: While it's wildly unethical, the legality of making one is unclear.

270
00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:10,880
Speaker 1: According to Greeley, one of the scientists, Now, human embryo

271
00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:13,040
Speaker 1: editing of this nature is illegal in the US and

272
00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:15,120
Speaker 1: the EU. It's unlikely that every country in the world

273
00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:16,520
Speaker 1: has relevant laws on their books.

274
00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:19,680
Speaker 2: Unlikely underpate, Yes.

275
00:15:19,640 --> 00:15:25,680
Speaker 1: No kidding, huh, Yeah, that's proascinating.

276
00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:29,800
Speaker 2: That's a problem with all of this stuff around Crisper,

277
00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:33,680
Speaker 2: around AI, around everything. We have these conversations for Europe

278
00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:37,480
Speaker 2: and the United States, doesn't matter at all to North Korea, Russia, China,

279
00:15:37,520 --> 00:15:39,680
Speaker 2: any of those places. We're to do whatever the hell

280
00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:40,160
Speaker 2: they want.

281
00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:46,200
Speaker 1: All right, finally, here is your neanderthal quiz. Are you ready?

282
00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:49,520
Speaker 1: How are we going to do this? Is everybody going

283
00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:53,160
Speaker 1: to try to answer? Or I'll try all right, or Michael,

284
00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:55,040
Speaker 1: do you want to take the Neanderthal quiz?

285
00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:57,480
Speaker 2: Who's gonna get with the Neanderthal? What was your saying

286
00:15:57,480 --> 00:15:58,480
Speaker 2: from earlier in the show.

287
00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:02,880
Speaker 1: Once you go Neanderthal, you never go back at all.

288
00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:05,360
Speaker 2: That's right. Yeah, some chick's gonna want to get with

289
00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:08,239
Speaker 2: the just you can brag or become like a Kardashian

290
00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:10,320
Speaker 2: sort of have a sex tape, you know, the whole thing.

291
00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:17,200
Speaker 1: Wow, wow, you you you you Homo Sapien slots.

292
00:16:17,520 --> 00:16:20,560
Speaker 2: Neanderthal would make a killing on only fans. Oh yeah,

293
00:16:20,640 --> 00:16:22,280
Speaker 2: oh my god.

294
00:16:22,280 --> 00:16:27,240
Speaker 1: Watch all right, hang on a second. This thing freaked

295
00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:29,560
Speaker 1: out on me. I hate when that happens. All right,

296
00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:39,200
Speaker 1: So I can't do the whole quiz fans? All right, Michael, Okay,

297
00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:44,200
Speaker 1: where did the name Neanderthal come from? A mountain in Italy,

298
00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:48,640
Speaker 1: a valley in Germany, a fjord in Sweden, or a

299
00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:53,680
Speaker 1: desert in Ethiopia. I'm gonna go with Germany. Jav All

300
00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:59,040
Speaker 1: the Neanderthal valley in Germany.

301
00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:00,360
Speaker 2: That's where they found the first owes.

302
00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:04,840
Speaker 1: Does this have a year, uh, nineteen eighty eight? No,

303
00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:11,960
Speaker 1: I don't know, No, they don't. Eh.

304
00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:14,560
Speaker 2: Well, so we haven't known this stuff for very long

305
00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:15,400
Speaker 2: at all though.

306
00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:19,520
Speaker 1: Right, right, And you say there are other species that

307
00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:21,600
Speaker 1: were probably kicking around. I think they were well known

308
00:17:21,600 --> 00:17:22,200
Speaker 1: as six.

309
00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:25,600
Speaker 2: Different human beings types of human beings existing on Earth

310
00:17:25,600 --> 00:17:28,280
Speaker 2: at the same time, which they didn't know up until

311
00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:30,320
Speaker 2: a few years ago. We remember that, you've seen the

312
00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:32,280
Speaker 2: poster of you got a monkey, and then the monkey

313
00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:34,840
Speaker 2: stands up a little straighter, then you got a caveman.

314
00:17:34,520 --> 00:17:37,800
Speaker 1: And the various hilarious variations of that.

315
00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:40,240
Speaker 2: That's the way we believed it happened for a long time,

316
00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:41,920
Speaker 2: but it didn't happen anything like that at all.

317
00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:47,640
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, So no Neanderthal zoos anytime soon. That's disappointing.

318
00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:51,280
Speaker 2: That'd be weird to go look at a human being

319
00:17:51,320 --> 00:17:52,040
Speaker 2: in a cage.

320
00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:55,199
Speaker 1: Look at that so much? Have it looking back at you?

321
00:17:55,320 --> 00:17:56,200
Speaker 1: What do you look it at?

322
00:17:56,320 --> 00:17:57,600
Speaker 2: He's just flipping everybody off.

323
00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:06,040
Speaker 1: Wow, that's grim. This sounds sounds like a heartbreakingly sad

324
00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:07,359
Speaker 1: science fiction movie.

325
00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:08,359
Speaker 2: Yes it does.

326
00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:12,000
Speaker 1: Or who's a hilarious comedy.

327
00:18:12,080 --> 00:18:13,919
Speaker 2: Who's it belonged to is a real question?

328
00:18:14,440 --> 00:18:16,760
Speaker 1: And Sino Man starring poly Shore.

329
00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:19,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, here's my idea.

330
00:18:20,160 --> 00:18:22,760
Speaker 1: Put him in the NBA as like maybe a backup

331
00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:26,240
Speaker 1: center and you can get in during garbage time and

332
00:18:26,359 --> 00:18:34,399
Speaker 1: entertain the fans. What the hell, Well, I guess that's it.
