[startrek]if there are any still around by 2161 would the prim-directive apply to Uncontacted groups on Earth?

Unlikely. Human colonies are excluded from the Prime Directive regardless of their level of technological development. This would presumably include Earth itself. This doesn't mean that it's open season, however. There are most assuredly other laws that deal with contact/observation of less advanced or isolated human societies, whether on Earth or other worlds. It just isn't the Prime Directive.
