From what I've heard Man After Man wasn't really Dixon's idea. His original concept for the third book was less cursed, but way more depressing. Basically humans were to return from their space colonies to the world from the original After Man. The book would then describe how they wrecked the ecosystem again and all those fantastical creatures from the first book are now dead or on the verge of extinction. On the subject of what we've got instead, It should be noted that while the first two books are speculative evolution the third one is pure (and not particularly hard) science fiction. It's still very enjoyable, just don't expect a scientific explanation of described events. The HTML version of Man After Man used to be hosted on Sivatherium website (a webpage about speculative biology) but was since removed. An older version of Sivatherium can still be viewed through WayBack Machine tho.

@@brandonlyon730 well the way humans are if we do go extinct it was most likely cause of a catisclismic event or we did it to our selves.

Cause frankly besides things like bacteria and insects as a species we're extremely hardy. Also you have to realise st this point earth is pretty old and it has been on a decline resource wise slowly but surely. And the fact humans have had almost the most influence on all loving things on this planet in the world. There's alot if factors that makes humans going extinct and huge dinosaurs that needed extremely high food and energy cost and lived in a time where they were essentially roided cause of all the extra heat and oxygen.

In the words of Futurama's title captions: "You can't prove it won't happen!" Although, many scientists nowadays think some of the future animals (or at least certain elements of some animals) are a bit too outlandish. Animals like the Spink (the "mole-rat bird"), Desert Hopper (the "snail-kangaroo") & the Toraton (the Godzilla-sized Tortoise) just to name a few species with problems... Though many scientists are still fans, even if there are some issues with the show. Just like how Walking with Dinosaurs is outdated, but still enjoyable. Fun Fact: Dougal Dixon has a strange obsession with naked mole-rats. To the point of including some kind of naked mole-rat like animal in most of his works.

They are very similar, but I seem to remember this one having slightly higher production quality. The AI probe character bits in AP were charming, but kind of slowed the whole thing down a little; I think they just didn't have the same amount of ideas and having it all set in one general area and geological period might be partially to blame for that. Still loved both shows as a kid though.

I remember seeing The Future is Wild when I was a kid and falling in love with it. The windrunner, a six-winged bird, was legitimately one of my favorite animals for a time. I had OCs based on a lot of these animals or that used weapons inspired by them. Then a few years later, I found the book version and it was like finding it for the first time. Reading through it reawakened all of that. THEN a few years after that I found the cartoon (I believe it was on the Hub), but unfortunately it just...never seemed to be on aside from the one time I found it. Now, a few years after that, I'm learning there's a manga? And talks of an updated remake and/or VR experience? Sign me the hell up.
