I must say I have enjoyed this book the most of all the books I have read in the past few months. I used to scuba dive, so that was appealing to me. I am fascinated with early humans, so novels about them are intriguing. I loved the idea of cloning in Jurassic Park and Cro-Magnon presents cloning in a believable and entertaining way.I found it very believable that two scientists could find the frozen bodies of a Neanderthal man, a Cro-Magnon man and a teenager who is a genetic cross of Neanderthal-Cro-Magnon, collect genetic material from the 3 bodies and clone living beings. How they capture their memories and restored them to their brains was total science fiction, but still believable. That the young man was able to learn at a phenomenal rate and educated himself to the point of holding several post-graduate degrees was a stretch, but I was caught up by the story and allowed my belief to extend to this.The disappointment came from a very ending. The book just stopped. I received a complimentary copy of the book in exchange for a review.
