A copy of Man after Man:
This is such a weird book. It has leech people, underwater people, blind psychic baby people, meat mountain people, etc.
Iโll need more details on this
It's a speculative evolution book from 1990 about how mankind might evolve in the next 5 million years. Basically the premise is that due to climate change, new species of humans are engineered to survive in a more hostile world. And then it follows these new species and their further evolutions.
The creatures in the picture above are both descended from humans.
It's weird, bleak and very far fetched.
A small gallery of the various species:
Some days i feel like the engineered food creature.
I was going to say the illustrations look very 90s
Truly morbid looking
Incredible ! I love it ! Will try to find it
There's a copy of it in the internet archive
Yeah I found it, thanks for the reply
