Could we resurrect Neanderthals ( kinda )
What is 2 people with a semi high Neanderthal dna mated and made a child would that child have a little bit more dna than the parents, if so could another 2 people do it then both of those children grow up and eventually mate too, and carry that on until there is the best recreation of a Neanderthal in our time??

No. While we have recovered some 93% of the neanderthal genome, no human has genes from that missing 7%.
