I read the other day a story in The Independent newspaper about the eminent geneticist, Prof. George Church, who was going to use a modern human surrogate to bring a Neanderthal back to life. I read today that this was entirely untrue and apparently the confusion arose when the interview was translated (or mistranslated) from a German magazine. It is hard to believe that a scientific interview could have been misinterpreted so wrongly.
Does anyone know of any more interviews, scientific or otherwise that have been misinterpreted during their translation from a foreign language?
