WEBVTT - Come See the Cavemanboy! 

0:00:00.160 --> 0:00:02.000
<v Speaker 1>Come see the caveman.

0:00:02.279 --> 0:00:02.599
<v Speaker 2>Boy.

0:00:03.400 --> 0:00:07.120
<v Speaker 1>This sucks. It's one more thing I'm.

0:00:10.360 --> 0:00:12.680
<v Speaker 2>In the What in the world was this one man

0:00:12.800 --> 0:00:14.280
<v Speaker 2>play you unleashed.

0:00:13.800 --> 0:00:18.720
<v Speaker 1>For the team, a somewhat lighthearted portrayal of what it

0:00:18.760 --> 0:00:25.360
<v Speaker 1>would be like if scientists actually produced a Neanderthal in

0:00:25.400 --> 0:00:29.639
<v Speaker 1>the modern world. There are so many scientific and ethical

0:00:29.680 --> 0:00:32.160
<v Speaker 1>questions connected to this, but one of them would be

0:00:32.840 --> 0:00:35.319
<v Speaker 1>what kind of life would that being have?

0:00:35.720 --> 0:00:37.519
<v Speaker 2>Can I make it do my laundry and stuff like that?

0:00:38.159 --> 0:00:47.080
<v Speaker 1>Oh my god, this sucks again, So we'll get there.

0:00:47.280 --> 0:00:50.960
<v Speaker 1>We mentioned this during the Ang Show, the radio show,

0:00:52.120 --> 0:00:54.080
<v Speaker 1>but didn't have time to deal with all of it.

0:00:54.920 --> 0:00:57.920
<v Speaker 1>This is probably not gonna happen. The same crack pots

0:00:57.920 --> 0:01:01.120
<v Speaker 1>who claim to clone a dire wolf and a wooly

0:01:01.200 --> 0:01:04.400
<v Speaker 1>mammoth but just produced like a slightly hairier elephant that

0:01:04.600 --> 0:01:05.520
<v Speaker 1>was slightly.

0:01:05.640 --> 0:01:09.520
<v Speaker 2>Rt the dire wolf in particular. That was a giant

0:01:09.560 --> 0:01:10.679
<v Speaker 2>news story that day.

0:01:11.080 --> 0:01:15.600
<v Speaker 1>Everybody reported that, Yeah, yeah, But so these people, in

0:01:15.680 --> 0:01:19.400
<v Speaker 1>a desperate attempt for more more publicity, are talking about

0:01:19.480 --> 0:01:25.200
<v Speaker 1>cloning or not cloning, but producing a Neanderthal. If you

0:01:25.319 --> 0:01:28.800
<v Speaker 1>are not familiar with the history of pre human humans

0:01:28.880 --> 0:01:32.880
<v Speaker 1>and human human humans during that period, Neanderthals were one

0:01:32.959 --> 0:01:39.000
<v Speaker 1>of several very closely related sorts of human beings on Earth,

0:01:39.600 --> 0:01:43.520
<v Speaker 1>and indeed, modern people these days share up to have

0:01:43.560 --> 0:01:46.680
<v Speaker 1>four percent of their DNA with Neanderthals. I have mentioned

0:01:46.680 --> 0:01:49.240
<v Speaker 1>that I Joe Getty at one point was in the

0:01:49.360 --> 0:01:53.520
<v Speaker 1>ninety ninth percentile of modern people in terms of how

0:01:53.600 --> 0:01:58.120
<v Speaker 1>much Neanderthal DNA I have, which explains my fits of

0:01:58.240 --> 0:02:01.080
<v Speaker 1>rage and my enormous head really doesn't. As far as

0:02:01.120 --> 0:02:04.800
<v Speaker 1>we knew, Neanderthals were smart as smart as or smarter

0:02:04.880 --> 0:02:06.440
<v Speaker 1>than Homo sapiens back in the day.

0:02:06.520 --> 0:02:08.320
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, definitely, And as.

0:02:08.240 --> 0:02:11.800
<v Speaker 1>We mentioned, the perception that Neanderthals were just stupid lunkens

0:02:11.919 --> 0:02:15.320
<v Speaker 1>was one racist scientist a brit right in the eighteen hundreds.

0:02:15.320 --> 0:02:18.760
<v Speaker 2>Correct, But yeah, Neanderthals were every bit as smart as

0:02:18.800 --> 0:02:21.680
<v Speaker 2>Homo sapiens, if not smarter, And it could be a

0:02:21.800 --> 0:02:25.040
<v Speaker 2>disease that for whatever reason genetically they couldn't and wipe

0:02:25.040 --> 0:02:27.640
<v Speaker 2>them out and has nothing to do with anything else

0:02:28.760 --> 0:02:29.480
<v Speaker 2>or who knows.

0:02:29.320 --> 0:02:34.760
<v Speaker 1>What right, and so now they're making noises. The head guy,

0:02:34.800 --> 0:02:38.320
<v Speaker 1>who was a Harvard researcher a decade ago, he said

0:02:38.320 --> 0:02:42.040
<v Speaker 1>he was confident in Neanderthal resurrection was a near term possibility.

0:02:42.760 --> 0:02:46.520
<v Speaker 1>Others have told Live science dot Com that doing so

0:02:46.720 --> 0:02:50.640
<v Speaker 1>is currently an insurmountably difficult task. But even if we

0:02:50.680 --> 0:02:53.080
<v Speaker 1>could bring them back, there are many reasons we shouldn't,

0:02:53.440 --> 0:02:56.160
<v Speaker 1>they argue. Here's one guy from the University of Kansas said,

0:02:56.600 --> 0:03:00.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm sorry, it's a woman. I've misgendered her now twice

0:03:00.120 --> 0:03:02.320
<v Speaker 1>while talking about her. That is one of the most

0:03:02.400 --> 0:03:05.760
<v Speaker 1>unethical things I can possibly think of to attempt.

0:03:05.400 --> 0:03:07.399
<v Speaker 2>Ethical stop unethical.

0:03:07.480 --> 0:03:07.880
<v Speaker 1>So not.

0:03:09.720 --> 0:03:16.720
<v Speaker 2>A practically bad idea, but unethical. Why is it not ethical? Well, first,

0:03:16.720 --> 0:03:20.440
<v Speaker 2>the technical stuff. You can't just put a Neanderthal genome

0:03:20.480 --> 0:03:21.160
<v Speaker 2>in a human egg.

0:03:21.200 --> 0:03:25.640
<v Speaker 1>It just wouldn't work. But one issue with the process

0:03:26.400 --> 0:03:30.440
<v Speaker 1>is potential immune system incompatibility. And just you know, I'm

0:03:30.480 --> 0:03:32.280
<v Speaker 1>going to jump to the end here. Our point is

0:03:32.320 --> 0:03:35.400
<v Speaker 1>not discussing whether they're going to unleash Neanderthals in the world.

0:03:35.680 --> 0:03:37.520
<v Speaker 1>If you have any interest in science, A lot of

0:03:37.520 --> 0:03:41.920
<v Speaker 1>this stuff is just interesting on its own. So one

0:03:42.000 --> 0:03:47.440
<v Speaker 1>issue is potential immune system incompatibility, which often dooms cross

0:03:47.520 --> 0:03:51.800
<v Speaker 1>species pregnancies as the host uterus rejects the fetus.

0:03:51.960 --> 0:03:55.280
<v Speaker 2>I think I'm seeing the unethical part coming produce a

0:03:56.160 --> 0:04:03.800
<v Speaker 2>like deformed human or somebody an actual human being neanderthalo's

0:04:03.800 --> 0:04:08.080
<v Speaker 2>opposed to Homo sapien, but a human being that dies

0:04:08.480 --> 0:04:09.200
<v Speaker 2>very early.

0:04:09.840 --> 0:04:12.880
<v Speaker 1>Right. Oh yeah, yeah, all these experiments have that. Oh

0:04:12.920 --> 0:04:14.440
<v Speaker 1>that reminds me. I meant to bring this up on

0:04:14.480 --> 0:04:19.120
<v Speaker 1>the show. But China is now working on gene editing

0:04:21.320 --> 0:04:28.640
<v Speaker 1>higher IQ into kids. Oh, of course, you develop a smarter,

0:04:29.640 --> 0:04:31.120
<v Speaker 1>more hearty super soldier.

0:04:31.400 --> 0:04:34.080
<v Speaker 2>It's a race between that and AI for what's gonna

0:04:34.080 --> 0:04:34.920
<v Speaker 2>do mankind?

0:04:35.520 --> 0:04:36.920
<v Speaker 1>Maybe also maybe they team up.

0:04:37.000 --> 0:04:40.799
<v Speaker 2>You start unleashing all kinds of extraordinarily high IQ human

0:04:40.800 --> 0:04:43.880
<v Speaker 2>beings into the world. What's your experience with people with

0:04:44.000 --> 0:04:47.360
<v Speaker 2>super high IQ that they're all just reasonable, wonderful humans

0:04:47.360 --> 0:04:48.919
<v Speaker 2>that are great at everything in life.

0:04:49.040 --> 0:04:50.280
<v Speaker 1>And happy and relaxed.

0:04:51.080 --> 0:04:52.039
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, exactly.

0:04:52.600 --> 0:04:55.080
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. Yeah. It's still debated, by the way, and I

0:04:55.120 --> 0:04:57.120
<v Speaker 1>don't know much about this debate. I could click on

0:04:57.120 --> 0:04:59.359
<v Speaker 1>the link, but who has the time Whether modern humans

0:04:59.360 --> 0:05:04.440
<v Speaker 1>and neanderthal can be called separate species or not. Anyway,

0:05:04.520 --> 0:05:07.520
<v Speaker 1>although humans and Neanderthals did successfully interbreed in the past,

0:05:07.720 --> 0:05:10.800
<v Speaker 1>today there's at most four percent Neanderthal DNA in some

0:05:10.960 --> 0:05:14.320
<v Speaker 1>human groups, and they think it might not have been beneficial,

0:05:14.360 --> 0:05:16.320
<v Speaker 1>so it was slowly purged out of the genome through

0:05:16.360 --> 0:05:20.600
<v Speaker 1>the eons. Anyway, mention this on the show, I found

0:05:20.600 --> 0:05:24.760
<v Speaker 1>it fascinating. Experts have discovered that humans y chromosomes. That's

0:05:24.800 --> 0:05:28.320
<v Speaker 1>your you're a fellow chromosome, no matter how you identify,

0:05:28.400 --> 0:05:32.200
<v Speaker 1>because you gantens your sex. Anyway, the humans y chromosome

0:05:32.320 --> 0:05:37.159
<v Speaker 1>lacks Neanderthal DNA, and there ought to be tiny bits

0:05:37.200 --> 0:05:40.000
<v Speaker 1>at least, but it completely lacks it, which may point

0:05:40.040 --> 0:05:45.040
<v Speaker 1>to a fundamental immune system incompatibility between male Neanderthal fetuses

0:05:45.240 --> 0:05:48.400
<v Speaker 1>and the female Homo sapiens carrying them, even in the

0:05:48.440 --> 0:05:54.880
<v Speaker 1>distant past. In other words, Homo sapiens girl gets with hot,

0:05:54.920 --> 0:06:00.239
<v Speaker 1>hot Neanderthal dude like myself. If they produce a girl,

0:06:00.720 --> 0:06:04.839
<v Speaker 1>it may well survive. But there's a much much smaller

0:06:04.920 --> 0:06:10.080
<v Speaker 1>chance that a boy Neanderthal would survive. And obviously, you

0:06:10.080 --> 0:06:12.800
<v Speaker 1>know through the years, you just a birth rate that

0:06:13.320 --> 0:06:16.599
<v Speaker 1>fixed and low. Your your genetic material would die out.

0:06:17.400 --> 0:06:19.600
<v Speaker 1>And they say a genetic variant red blood cells and

0:06:19.680 --> 0:06:22.599
<v Speaker 1>Neanderthal human hybrid mothers might have resulted in high rates

0:06:22.640 --> 0:06:28.080
<v Speaker 1>of miscarriage. So those girls produced by the aforementioned for

0:06:28.279 --> 0:06:31.839
<v Speaker 1>really hot looking Homo sapien girl and the manly manly

0:06:31.920 --> 0:06:35.680
<v Speaker 1>Neanderthal might not have been able to reproduce successfully in

0:06:35.720 --> 0:06:36.480
<v Speaker 1>the same numbers.

0:06:37.000 --> 0:06:39.680
<v Speaker 2>Neanderthal has had bigger brains. Your brain takes a ton

0:06:39.720 --> 0:06:41.640
<v Speaker 2>of your energy in your body, which I didn't realize.

0:06:41.680 --> 0:06:44.680
<v Speaker 2>And they just couldn't feed themselves is one of the theories.

0:06:44.880 --> 0:06:49.320
<v Speaker 2>They just couldn't possibly get themselves enough calories every day

0:06:49.360 --> 0:06:50.400
<v Speaker 2>to feed their big brain.

0:06:50.800 --> 0:06:53.400
<v Speaker 1>Oh wow, yeah, I read that the other day. How

0:06:53.480 --> 0:06:56.520
<v Speaker 1>much of your your energy your metabolized.

0:06:56.080 --> 0:06:57.200
<v Speaker 2>Energy or something.

0:06:57.240 --> 0:07:01.000
<v Speaker 1>It's amazing, right, yeah, yeah, that is crazy. Oh, Papa Bah.

0:07:01.080 --> 0:07:03.960
<v Speaker 1>Another root would be cloning, but in order to clone

0:07:04.040 --> 0:07:07.000
<v Speaker 1>one of her extinct cousins, you'd need a live Neanderthal cell.

0:07:07.400 --> 0:07:12.840
<v Speaker 1>That ain't happening. So with crisper technology, it is possible

0:07:12.880 --> 0:07:15.800
<v Speaker 1>to modify a human cell genome to make it more

0:07:15.880 --> 0:07:19.960
<v Speaker 1>similar to Neanderthal. And that's what this business, this guy

0:07:20.480 --> 0:07:22.280
<v Speaker 1>firm Colossals modify.

0:07:22.320 --> 0:07:27.360
<v Speaker 2>Why why other than to charge people to look at

0:07:27.400 --> 0:07:29.520
<v Speaker 2>it in a cage. I can't come up with any

0:07:29.560 --> 0:07:30.720
<v Speaker 2>reason why you would do this.

0:07:31.280 --> 0:07:35.600
<v Speaker 1>Hence my fascinating one man play. Come see the Caveman Boy.

0:07:36.040 --> 0:07:40.080
<v Speaker 1>This sucks exactly what is the kid just destined for

0:07:40.120 --> 0:07:45.160
<v Speaker 1>a sideshow, right, Otherwise, what's the point. So with Crisper,

0:07:45.760 --> 0:07:48.320
<v Speaker 1>it wouldn't be a Neanderthal, it'd be a human with

0:07:48.440 --> 0:07:50.920
<v Speaker 1>a lot of Neanderthal characteristics.

0:07:51.560 --> 0:07:55.200
<v Speaker 2>Now, maybe what we don't really know. One thing I've

0:07:55.280 --> 0:08:00.960
<v Speaker 2>learned about from reading Homo Sapiens and then my son

0:08:01.080 --> 0:08:04.360
<v Speaker 2>is superint evolution stuff for whatever reason, humans and dinosaurs

0:08:04.360 --> 0:08:06.880
<v Speaker 2>and all that sort of stuff. There's almost nothing that's

0:08:06.880 --> 0:08:11.640
<v Speaker 2>agreed upon. Practically everything you hear is like a fifteen

0:08:11.680 --> 0:08:14.480
<v Speaker 2>percent of people believe this. So if you hear you

0:08:14.480 --> 0:08:17.400
<v Speaker 2>know things, and you if you hear anything about dinosaurs

0:08:17.480 --> 0:08:19.040
<v Speaker 2>or humans or anything, and you think that's not what

0:08:19.080 --> 0:08:21.800
<v Speaker 2>I heard, Yeah, it's probably not because there are lots

0:08:21.800 --> 0:08:23.720
<v Speaker 2>of different theories and are constantly changing.

0:08:24.400 --> 0:08:29.960
<v Speaker 1>Right. Yeah, So they think in maybe twenty years crisper

0:08:30.000 --> 0:08:34.160
<v Speaker 1>technology you could probably maybe have a baby with holy

0:08:34.280 --> 0:08:39.520
<v Speaker 1>neanderthal genome. Yah. Wouldn't that be great? So we can want,

0:08:40.200 --> 0:08:42.160
<v Speaker 1>says this scientist. But I don't think we will do it,

0:08:42.200 --> 0:08:45.640
<v Speaker 1>even if it's plausible, for both ethical and legal reasons.

0:08:45.920 --> 0:08:49.800
<v Speaker 1>Legal de extincting, de extincting.

0:08:49.679 --> 0:08:51.480
<v Speaker 2>You can't give me a ticket. I'm not a human,

0:08:51.520 --> 0:08:55.480
<v Speaker 2>I'm not a Homo sapien. There's no last Neanderthal's driving

0:08:55.520 --> 0:08:57.400
<v Speaker 2>this fast? Is that what the legal reasons?

0:08:58.800 --> 0:09:01.640
<v Speaker 1>Wow, that would cause the Supreme Court to dig deep

0:09:01.679 --> 0:09:05.040
<v Speaker 1>into the law books. Wasn't it, Uh, de extincting Neanderthals

0:09:05.160 --> 0:09:10.480
<v Speaker 1>is ethically repugnant, experts told Live Science. It's morally abhorrent

0:09:10.640 --> 0:09:12.880
<v Speaker 1>even conceive of trying to create another kind of human

0:09:12.920 --> 0:09:15.800
<v Speaker 1>based on DNA using uncertain technologies to which they could

0:09:15.880 --> 0:09:19.000
<v Speaker 1>not consent. Raff said, Ah, I don't know if I

0:09:19.120 --> 0:09:23.160
<v Speaker 1>buy that. So they're not even looking into the You're

0:09:23.200 --> 0:09:27.240
<v Speaker 1>gonna have a whole bunch of deformed kid's awfulness there.

0:09:27.679 --> 0:09:30.520
<v Speaker 1>They just in general think it's unethical to bring another

0:09:30.679 --> 0:09:33.480
<v Speaker 1>human species onto the planet.

0:09:33.480 --> 0:09:35.160
<v Speaker 2>I don't know, because it is. I don't know if

0:09:35.200 --> 0:09:37.280
<v Speaker 2>I quite get what's the ethics around that.

0:09:38.520 --> 0:09:41.400
<v Speaker 1>Well, okay, they do get a little bit into these

0:09:41.600 --> 0:09:45.560
<v Speaker 1>experiments like Dolly the sheep famously, the clone sheep that

0:09:45.720 --> 0:09:52.840
<v Speaker 1>was after dozens wasn't it of deformed horrible poor creatures

0:09:52.880 --> 0:09:54.000
<v Speaker 1>that never could survive?

0:09:54.200 --> 0:09:56.560
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, doing that that were still born or born.

0:09:56.360 --> 0:09:59.400
<v Speaker 1>Alive and rapidly died and the rest of it. It

0:09:59.440 --> 0:10:01.600
<v Speaker 1>took him a lot of hacks to get an actual sheep.

0:10:02.320 --> 0:10:05.040
<v Speaker 1>But here we go. Even if the Neanderthal embryos could

0:10:05.040 --> 0:10:07.680
<v Speaker 1>develop into an otherwise healthy Neanderthal, the life they would

0:10:07.679 --> 0:10:10.360
<v Speaker 1>face once in our world would be unbearably.

0:10:09.920 --> 0:10:11.319
<v Speaker 2>Bleak, like try to get hired.

0:10:12.280 --> 0:10:14.960
<v Speaker 1>Being the only Neanderthal raised in the twenty first century

0:10:14.960 --> 0:10:17.479
<v Speaker 1>world of humans would likely to be lonely and isolating,

0:10:17.960 --> 0:10:20.640
<v Speaker 1>possibly like the lives of the last Neanderthals in Europe.

0:10:20.679 --> 0:10:25.040
<v Speaker 2>You don't know that. Chicks might dig it. You might

0:10:25.080 --> 0:10:25.880
<v Speaker 2>be a rock star.

0:10:26.840 --> 0:10:29.280
<v Speaker 1>This is all seems very speculative to me.

0:10:29.720 --> 0:10:31.200
<v Speaker 2>It might be the thing you're going on all the

0:10:31.240 --> 0:10:36.439
<v Speaker 2>talk shows. Big guest tonight, the world's only Neanderthal comes out?

0:10:36.679 --> 0:10:41.480
<v Speaker 1>Who what brings you? So the k Man outfit? Ooga

0:10:41.600 --> 0:10:45.000
<v Speaker 1>ooga booga. Just kidding, Jimmy, it's great to be with

0:10:45.040 --> 0:10:48.720
<v Speaker 1>you tonight. What an honor this is. I love your work, right.

0:10:49.200 --> 0:10:52.160
<v Speaker 2>Chicks wanting to get with the Neanderthal man on Earth?

0:10:52.679 --> 0:10:59.240
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah? The rumors, would you know, circulate rappity? Oh yeah,

0:10:59.440 --> 0:10:59.920
<v Speaker 1>like the bat.

0:11:00.360 --> 0:11:03.360
<v Speaker 2>But you know I need I needed a four will

0:11:03.440 --> 0:11:06.120
<v Speaker 2>drive rugged enough for Minyan with all background you know,

0:11:06.440 --> 0:11:07.680
<v Speaker 2>endorsing Ford or whatever.

0:11:09.760 --> 0:11:14.400
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, but Gus, you'd have to, you'd become globally known,

0:11:15.440 --> 0:11:18.800
<v Speaker 1>so you'd be like a super celebrity and have to

0:11:19.160 --> 0:11:20.200
<v Speaker 1>more or less hide out with.

0:11:20.200 --> 0:11:23.839
<v Speaker 2>The be the biggest celebrity on planet Earth that planet

0:11:23.880 --> 0:11:24.920
<v Speaker 2>Earth has probably ever.

0:11:24.800 --> 0:11:29.360
<v Speaker 1>Seen, right right, Yeah, But I mean like the Bill

0:11:29.480 --> 0:11:31.880
<v Speaker 1>Gates is of the world and the world's biggest movie stars.

0:11:31.920 --> 0:11:33.840
<v Speaker 1>That's the only people you could hang out with, because

0:11:34.240 --> 0:11:36.560
<v Speaker 1>you know they're cool around other celebrities. But you got

0:11:36.640 --> 0:11:39.000
<v Speaker 1>there a gift and Harry by the pool and the

0:11:39.200 --> 0:11:41.920
<v Speaker 1>say shells with Brad Pitt in a squeeze.

0:11:42.000 --> 0:11:44.040
<v Speaker 2>You got to give him or her a name also,

0:11:44.120 --> 0:11:45.160
<v Speaker 2>which is be a big deal.

0:11:46.000 --> 0:11:49.040
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, but they would they might, you know, choose

0:11:49.080 --> 0:11:51.959
<v Speaker 1>their own name anyway.

0:11:52.320 --> 0:11:54.800
<v Speaker 2>Well one day. That's that's where you do get into

0:11:54.800 --> 0:11:59.600
<v Speaker 2>the ethics. Who who does this person belong to? Well,

0:11:59.640 --> 0:12:02.839
<v Speaker 2>who's the person belonged to? So did they get belong to? Well,

0:12:03.440 --> 0:12:05.520
<v Speaker 2>that's what I'm getting in it belongs to all of us?

0:12:05.840 --> 0:12:09.520
<v Speaker 1>Well, what an idiotic thing, Saint Michael and it was perfect.

0:12:11.360 --> 0:12:13.400
<v Speaker 2>Who doesn't belong to? Maybe it does belong to all

0:12:13.400 --> 0:12:16.679
<v Speaker 2>of us. It's mankind. It's like space exploration or something

0:12:16.720 --> 0:12:21.720
<v Speaker 2>like that. Is it a human start?

0:12:21.880 --> 0:12:24.640
<v Speaker 1>There? Does she have the rights of the fact that

0:12:24.679 --> 0:12:26.680
<v Speaker 1>you even asked, who would it belong to? Who? Do

0:12:26.760 --> 0:12:28.720
<v Speaker 1>I belong to? Nobody?

0:12:28.760 --> 0:12:31.280
<v Speaker 2>But you're a homot sapien, This is not so. Does

0:12:31.320 --> 0:12:35.839
<v Speaker 2>it like dogs belong to individual? Yeah, pet belongs to someone.

0:12:35.559 --> 0:12:38.000
<v Speaker 1>Maybe like America's mascot, basically.

0:12:39.920 --> 0:12:42.480
<v Speaker 2>America's mask. What if he can run really really fast?

0:12:42.520 --> 0:12:44.680
<v Speaker 2>Does he get to compete for Team USA in the Olympics?

0:12:44.720 --> 0:12:49.679
<v Speaker 1>Oh wow wow? So yeah, this part's really speculative. It

0:12:49.720 --> 0:12:52.520
<v Speaker 1>would likely be lonely and isolating. They wouldn't have prior

0:12:52.600 --> 0:12:56.280
<v Speaker 1>generations or peers to learn from. That's that's begging the question.

0:12:56.360 --> 0:12:59.480
<v Speaker 1>It's it's leaping past. The question is is it just

0:12:59.600 --> 0:13:03.599
<v Speaker 1>a a different sort of human but so similar that

0:13:03.840 --> 0:13:09.080
<v Speaker 1>the age almost god? Or would it be more like

0:13:09.280 --> 0:13:12.960
<v Speaker 1>racial differences between a Han Chinese and a black person

0:13:12.960 --> 0:13:15.400
<v Speaker 1>from Africa and like a Swede.

0:13:15.720 --> 0:13:17.760
<v Speaker 2>We'd have to choose their name from when they're a

0:13:17.760 --> 0:13:19.800
<v Speaker 2>little kid, we got to call them something. We can't

0:13:19.840 --> 0:13:22.920
<v Speaker 2>just say hey to you to the only Neanderthal on earth,

0:13:22.960 --> 0:13:24.520
<v Speaker 2>and then like at eighteen, do they get to do

0:13:24.520 --> 0:13:25.160
<v Speaker 2>whatever they want?

0:13:26.080 --> 0:13:28.320
<v Speaker 1>The darker possibility is that we would keep any de

0:13:28.440 --> 0:13:31.000
<v Speaker 1>extincted Neanderthals in zoos like animals.

0:13:31.040 --> 0:13:37.040
<v Speaker 2>Yes, if they throw the feces at us or anything humans,

0:13:37.600 --> 0:13:39.800
<v Speaker 2>I'm I'm not going to throw my pieces. You can

0:13:39.840 --> 0:13:42.120
<v Speaker 2>stand here all day long. I'm not throwing my feces.

0:13:42.440 --> 0:13:45.560
<v Speaker 1>Look, you want me to check my feces, it's going

0:13:45.600 --> 0:13:50.080
<v Speaker 1>to cost you extra give me right. Humans don't have

0:13:50.120 --> 0:13:53.040
<v Speaker 1>a good track record over the centuries of treating other people, well,

0:13:53.160 --> 0:13:56.120
<v Speaker 1>said this ethicist. So I have no confidence that we

0:13:56.160 --> 0:13:58.760
<v Speaker 1>wouldn't be nasty to Neanderthals. I don't think we would

0:13:58.760 --> 0:13:59.720
<v Speaker 1>in the United States.

0:14:00.080 --> 0:14:03.760
<v Speaker 2>No, absolutely, not China will. Yeah they will. They will

0:14:03.760 --> 0:14:07.719
<v Speaker 2>breed whatever until they get the strongest, fastest, whatever, and

0:14:08.440 --> 0:14:10.600
<v Speaker 2>kill off or enslave the other ones.

0:14:11.200 --> 0:14:16.000
<v Speaker 1>Right right, Another ethical problem, and I'm quoting scientists again,

0:14:16.200 --> 0:14:18.720
<v Speaker 1>a Neanderthal being constructed in this way wouldn't be living

0:14:18.760 --> 0:14:20.480
<v Speaker 1>in the past. They would be living in the present

0:14:20.560 --> 0:14:24.440
<v Speaker 1>and in an environment that's neither appropriate nor safe for them. Yeah,

0:14:24.520 --> 0:14:27.280
<v Speaker 1>probably because we don't know anything about how their genes

0:14:27.560 --> 0:14:28.880
<v Speaker 1>reacted with their environment.

0:14:29.280 --> 0:14:32.400
<v Speaker 2>From a from a like disease standpoint, I get that,

0:14:32.600 --> 0:14:35.440
<v Speaker 2>But from a like it's not like they're going to

0:14:35.600 --> 0:14:37.400
<v Speaker 2>like at the age of ten, say where are the

0:14:37.520 --> 0:14:40.120
<v Speaker 2>dinosaurs or something like that. They don't have any of

0:14:40.160 --> 0:14:45.120
<v Speaker 2>the cultural baggage that comes with, right having died out

0:14:45.160 --> 0:14:46.440
<v Speaker 2>two hundred thousand years ago.

0:14:47.360 --> 0:14:49.600
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, what electric?

0:14:50.240 --> 0:14:51.680
<v Speaker 2>Where are these flying machines?

0:14:51.720 --> 0:14:54.360
<v Speaker 1>That's not the way it would work right, right, And

0:14:54.400 --> 0:14:57.520
<v Speaker 1>it's not like they could teach you their Neanderthal language.

0:14:57.760 --> 0:15:02.160
<v Speaker 1>I mean, yeah, is it legal to bring back a neanderthal?

0:15:03.280 --> 0:15:07.120
<v Speaker 1>While it's wildly unethical, the legality of making one is unclear.

0:15:07.160 --> 0:15:10.880
<v Speaker 1>According to Greeley, one of the scientists, Now, human embryo

0:15:11.000 --> 0:15:13.040
<v Speaker 1>editing of this nature is illegal in the US and

0:15:13.080 --> 0:15:15.120
<v Speaker 1>the EU. It's unlikely that every country in the world

0:15:15.200 --> 0:15:16.520
<v Speaker 1>has relevant laws on their books.

0:15:16.600 --> 0:15:19.680
<v Speaker 2>Unlikely underpate, Yes.

0:15:19.640 --> 0:15:25.680
<v Speaker 1>No kidding, huh, Yeah, that's proascinating.

0:15:25.760 --> 0:15:29.800
<v Speaker 2>That's a problem with all of this stuff around Crisper,

0:15:30.080 --> 0:15:33.680
<v Speaker 2>around AI, around everything. We have these conversations for Europe

0:15:33.720 --> 0:15:37.480
<v Speaker 2>and the United States, doesn't matter at all to North Korea, Russia, China,

0:15:37.520 --> 0:15:39.680
<v Speaker 2>any of those places. We're to do whatever the hell

0:15:39.760 --> 0:15:40.160
<v Speaker 2>they want.

0:15:41.240 --> 0:15:46.200
<v Speaker 1>All right, finally, here is your neanderthal quiz. Are you ready?

0:15:47.880 --> 0:15:49.520
<v Speaker 1>How are we going to do this? Is everybody going

0:15:49.600 --> 0:15:53.160
<v Speaker 1>to try to answer? Or I'll try all right, or Michael,

0:15:53.200 --> 0:15:55.040
<v Speaker 1>do you want to take the Neanderthal quiz?

0:15:55.120 --> 0:15:57.480
<v Speaker 2>Who's gonna get with the Neanderthal? What was your saying

0:15:57.480 --> 0:15:58.480
<v Speaker 2>from earlier in the show.

0:15:59.600 --> 0:16:02.880
<v Speaker 1>Once you go Neanderthal, you never go back at all.

0:16:03.280 --> 0:16:05.360
<v Speaker 2>That's right. Yeah, some chick's gonna want to get with

0:16:05.360 --> 0:16:08.239
<v Speaker 2>the just you can brag or become like a Kardashian

0:16:08.280 --> 0:16:10.320
<v Speaker 2>sort of have a sex tape, you know, the whole thing.

0:16:10.920 --> 0:16:17.200
<v Speaker 1>Wow, wow, you you you you Homo Sapien slots.

0:16:17.520 --> 0:16:20.560
<v Speaker 2>Neanderthal would make a killing on only fans. Oh yeah,

0:16:20.640 --> 0:16:22.280
<v Speaker 2>oh my god.

0:16:22.280 --> 0:16:27.240
<v Speaker 1>Watch all right, hang on a second. This thing freaked

0:16:27.240 --> 0:16:29.560
<v Speaker 1>out on me. I hate when that happens. All right,

0:16:29.720 --> 0:16:39.200
<v Speaker 1>So I can't do the whole quiz fans? All right, Michael, Okay,

0:16:39.360 --> 0:16:44.200
<v Speaker 1>where did the name Neanderthal come from? A mountain in Italy,

0:16:44.880 --> 0:16:48.640
<v Speaker 1>a valley in Germany, a fjord in Sweden, or a

0:16:48.640 --> 0:16:53.680
<v Speaker 1>desert in Ethiopia. I'm gonna go with Germany. Jav All

0:16:55.000 --> 0:16:59.040
<v Speaker 1>the Neanderthal valley in Germany.

0:16:59.040 --> 0:17:00.360
<v Speaker 2>That's where they found the first owes.

0:17:00.440 --> 0:17:04.840
<v Speaker 1>Does this have a year, uh, nineteen eighty eight? No,

0:17:05.000 --> 0:17:11.960
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, No, they don't. Eh.

0:17:12.160 --> 0:17:14.560
<v Speaker 2>Well, so we haven't known this stuff for very long

0:17:14.560 --> 0:17:15.400
<v Speaker 2>at all though.

0:17:16.640 --> 0:17:19.520
<v Speaker 1>Right, right, And you say there are other species that

0:17:19.520 --> 0:17:21.600
<v Speaker 1>were probably kicking around. I think they were well known

0:17:21.600 --> 0:17:22.200
<v Speaker 1>as six.

0:17:22.200 --> 0:17:25.600
<v Speaker 2>Different human beings types of human beings existing on Earth

0:17:25.600 --> 0:17:28.280
<v Speaker 2>at the same time, which they didn't know up until

0:17:28.280 --> 0:17:30.320
<v Speaker 2>a few years ago. We remember that, you've seen the

0:17:30.359 --> 0:17:32.280
<v Speaker 2>poster of you got a monkey, and then the monkey

0:17:32.320 --> 0:17:34.840
<v Speaker 2>stands up a little straighter, then you got a caveman.

0:17:34.520 --> 0:17:37.800
<v Speaker 1>And the various hilarious variations of that.

0:17:37.800 --> 0:17:40.240
<v Speaker 2>That's the way we believed it happened for a long time,

0:17:40.280 --> 0:17:41.920
<v Speaker 2>but it didn't happen anything like that at all.

0:17:42.520 --> 0:17:47.640
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. Yeah, So no Neanderthal zoos anytime soon. That's disappointing.

0:17:49.480 --> 0:17:51.280
<v Speaker 2>That'd be weird to go look at a human being

0:17:51.320 --> 0:17:52.040
<v Speaker 2>in a cage.

0:17:52.400 --> 0:17:55.199
<v Speaker 1>Look at that so much? Have it looking back at you?

0:17:55.320 --> 0:17:56.200
<v Speaker 1>What do you look it at?

0:17:56.320 --> 0:17:57.600
<v Speaker 2>He's just flipping everybody off.

0:18:01.600 --> 0:18:06.040
<v Speaker 1>Wow, that's grim. This sounds sounds like a heartbreakingly sad

0:18:06.160 --> 0:18:07.359
<v Speaker 1>science fiction movie.

0:18:07.480 --> 0:18:08.359
<v Speaker 2>Yes it does.

0:18:10.400 --> 0:18:12.000
<v Speaker 1>Or who's a hilarious comedy.

0:18:12.080 --> 0:18:13.919
<v Speaker 2>Who's it belonged to is a real question?

0:18:14.440 --> 0:18:16.760
<v Speaker 1>And Sino Man starring poly Shore.

0:18:17.160 --> 0:18:19.920
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, here's my idea.

0:18:20.160 --> 0:18:22.760
<v Speaker 1>Put him in the NBA as like maybe a backup

0:18:22.800 --> 0:18:26.240
<v Speaker 1>center and you can get in during garbage time and

0:18:26.359 --> 0:18:34.399
<v Speaker 1>entertain the fans. What the hell, Well, I guess that's it.
