- In a fictional alternate version of present-day Earth, scientists have found a way to resurrect people from the past *en masse*. The resurrected will have bodies that resemble their original ones but reset to a viable state (not about to die from whatever killed them, and they won't carry communicable diseases from the past into the present). They will have their memories except for the last few weeks of their original lives, so they won't remember dying.
Society's leaders want to bring back as many past people as will fit, probably several billion.[^1] Ultimately, they could bring back everyone from the stone age to last century.- How should the leaders of this project ease all those people's integration into modern society?

The project is planned as a one-time event -- bring everyone back once, not make everyone effectively immortal.

What's the least traumatic way to integrate resurrected historical humans into modern society?
In a fictional alternate version of present-day Earth, scientists have found a way to resurrect people from the past *en masse*.
