What you'd be missing by cloning a Neanderthal would be their culture, tribal habits, hunting patterns, etc. You can't clone behavior. The Neanderthal child would grow up exposed to moderm man's culture, not Neanderthal culture.

Yes, I've been wondering about that overnight.
What would be the point in recreating Neanderthals? What would we learn from them, exactly? Is it really worth recreating an ancient lifeform just to check what colour were their eyes?
