We’ve mentioned the mysterious “Antikythera Mechanism” before (see here and here). Now divers have found a human skeleton, probably containing intact DNA, at the shipwreck site.
Story here. (See also this story, suggesting that the device was already old when it was lost at sea.)

It might make sense to clone people from that ancient DNA.
Probably a lot smarter and more together than the ones we have now.
Ha!
Very nearly dropped you an alert as I noted this when I was needing to prepare to see the optometrist. But, pressed for time …
Dunno Brett – I’ve yet to read the links but, on the item I read there was speculation the skeleton was perhaps a slave. Be just our luck when the DnA comes in the guy’ll be found to have origins from round about Brussels Belgium. Don’t know we ought take any chances cloning a bureaucrat.
