   I am reminded of Robert Silverberg's 1967 book   
   "Hawksbill Station".   
      
   see   
   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hawksbill_Station#:~:text=Hawksbil   
   %20Station%20is%20a%20science,Science%20Fiction%20in%20August%201967.   
      
   So, dangerous prisoners were put in a time machine, and   
   BAM sent back one Billion years into the Cambrian Period.   
   One arrived, and was told "I hope you like seafood."   
   Very simple life had evolved in the ocean.
