Cover. After Man: A Zoology of the Future (1981) is a 1981 book by the Scottish geologist and author, Dougal Dixon. In it, he presents his hypothesis on how the fauna and geography could change 50 million years from now.

Asia and North America would collide and close up the Bering Strait. South America would split off from Central America. Australia would collide with southern Asia, uplifting a mountain range. Finally, parts of eastern Africa would split off to form a new island which he called Lemuria. Other volcanic islands have been added, such as the Pacaus Archipelago and Batavia. Major groups of After Man: A Zoology of the Future While there are a wide variety of creatures in After Man, many of these can fall into easily recognizable groups, e.g. rabbucks, gigantelopes, predator rats, etc. Some of the larger groups in the future include: Rabbucks Rabbucks fill in the void of deer, zebras and antelope (since antelope became things like the gigantelopes) but descended, as the name suggests, from rabbits. They live in almost any environment, and they mostly feed on grass. Their anatomy resembles that of ungulates, though there are a few primitive hopping forms lurking around. Gigantelope The Gigantelope take the niche in the future that was formerly held by elephants, giraffes, moose, musk oxen, rhinoceroses, and other large herbivores. Resembling the ancient sauropods or indricotheres, they are descended from antelope, and range in a wide variety of forms. One subbranch have evolved into the large, moose-like herbivores of the north, the Hornheads. Predator Rats The major group of predators in the future. Like our modern carnivorans, they exist on almost every continent and fill almost every carnivorous niche. They evolved, as the name suggests, from rats, and range in forms resembling polar bears, wolves, wolverines, cats, and even aquatic walrus-like forms. Carnivorans For the most part, Dixon assumes that Carnivorans have either gone extinct, or have been forced into peripheral niches like the Creodonts were in the Oligocene. A few still exist, the Shurrack, Pamthret, Striger, Ghole, Gurrath and Nightglider.

The latter in particular appears to be based on a combination of the purrip bat and the nightstalker. Similar projects Paleontologist Peter Ward wrote another book on a different perspective on future evolution, one with humans intact as a species. This book is called Future Evolution. Dixon's later work Man After Man also includes man. In 2002, a program on Animal Planet called The Future Is Wild—for which Dixon was a consultant—advances further using more precise studies of biomechanics and future geological phenomena based on the past. Popular culture SF writer Vernor Vinge credits After Man as an influence on his 1986 novel Marooned in Realtime. References ^ falanx image ^ rabbuck image ^ vortex image
