C.e. to a.t.
(Should these conversions have their own thread? )
Development of the Merpeople
By 130 a.t. (the start of the 22nd century c.e.), attitudes to genetic engineering and advanced technology were changing rapidly, A small but growing population of superbright humans with enhanced genomes was working together with the newly developed artificially intelligent computer systems (known as superturings) to repair widespread ecological degradation. This had been caused by the ill considered use of technology, fossil fuels and industrialised food production, and also by sporadic but environmentally damaging warfare during the previous hundred and fifty years. Particularly badly hit were the enclosed waters of the Mediterranean sea, which after decades of pollution and eutrophication were in large part barren and devoid of life.
