They would surely feel better at home in parts oh northern Eurasia today, the thing with Neanderthals is they needed a lot of meat, due to their huge brains (much bigger than ours) and their incredible muscle mass, which was probably also part of their demise. Sapiens were the efficient kind at the time.
National Geographic ran an extremely interesting series called Year Million
They cover a variety of issues and what the human condition may be like at year 1,000,000
"Year Million is a new series exploring life in the near and distant future, where artificial intelligence is everywhere and advances in medicine and biology will expand our lives by hundreds of years. The way we communicate, work and learn will be revolutionized through telepathy and virtual reality. The drive to explore will push us further into the cosmos, where we'll discover new planets, resources, and possibly even new life."
Catch them if or where you can.

Mistake #1: "The Human Condition" still exists.
I don't get it but it's of no matter?
I didn't go watch it or anything but just postulating that "humans" still exist after 997981 more years of technological development is a mistake. We'll almost certainly have turned ourselves into something completely different by then.
Given that the herd instinct leads to humans behaving like sheep the original successful clone was spot-on.

If it's brain doesn't develop past autonomic functions one can't really justify calling it a "person".
No reason to have the clones be encephalic. Just a bag of spare parts with no consciousness.

I think we are close to replicate functional organs. Already several companies are ready to commercialize VAT grown "meat" or something resembling it enough to fool most people. We have printed an ear lobe with a 3-D printer and some lab-grown biological thingie .. Do we need the expense and complications of a full Human to grow an organ? No.
Our imaginations is being challenged by many notions. Cloning , people replication, Life extension .. Even the idea of having money may seem quaint in a few years ...

You need to stay away from La La Land
Nothing good ever goes on in that state.
I moved to Washington!
FWIW, the vat grown meat had a huge texture issue, like putrid or decayed flesh, but without the smell.
It was fine in a hot dog, but the hamburger was weird and the 'steak' was awful.
Dude, your makin me gag.
Won't be able to enjoy a good steak for a week..
Maybe the veggies will eat it. LOL
I would be interested in having myself cloned if it inherits how to measure audio gear. I have so much stuff to measure that trumps ethics of it.

Aren't you locked into that Karmic rebirth cycle, already? The queue is never ending.
