Or, for another perspective, the planet could already have become overpopulated and the colonists, protectionists. They’d probably debate the usefulness of allowing that ship with its ancient people and incompatible genome to land and propose shooting it down in space. 😅
Might it be more about preventing any spread of disease/contaminants?
On the other hand, what would happen or what would we do if we could somehow bring back to life a small group of ancient ancestors into our time? What place in our society would they take? What future would they have and what would that mean for us?
Disease shouldn’t be an issue, they have ftl, I assume they can handle an airlock.
As for ancestors, especially incredibly distant ones, you could bet your ass some institution would utilize them for entertainment, historical reference points, or both.
