An illustrated book about the evolution of humans
June 13, 2005 12:48 PM   RSS feed for this thread Subscribe

Inspired by this question, does anyone remember an illustrated, sci-fi book that came out about 15-20 years ago, which consisted mostly of possible forms that human evolution would take, and full-colour illustrations of what these future humans would look like?

I only skimmed it once at a bookstore as a kid, but I distinctly remember one image where there were two types of humans, given Latin species names: a small, overseer human form that farmed and ate these cow-like, obese humans.

Unfortunately, that's about all I have to off of.

The author sounds like Dougal Dixon, but After Man doesn't sound quite like what you're looking for (though it could be).

You're thinking of another book by Dougal Dixon called "Man After Man"

That was directed at Big Fat Tycoon, btw.
