A hi-tech health prediction that I could do without | Brief letters

The article discusses various topics, including a new AI tool that can predict a person's risk of 1,000 diseases, the potential resurrection of the dodo, and the suggestion to resurrect Homo neanderthalensis instead. The author, Sam White, expresses apprehension about the AI tool, stating that if it forecasts a high risk of a "horrible condition," it's unclear whether that would be good or bad news. The article also mentions a report from Patrick Cosgrove, who suggests that it would be better to resurrect Homo neanderthalensis, a more cooperative and less aggressive hominid, rather than the dodo. The article does not provide any additional details about the other topics mentioned, such as Donald Trump's state visit to Britain or the Saint George's flag.
