The future is unpredictable. Humanity has been trying to predict the future since the beginning of time, but no matter how advanced science is, it cannot guarantee the future. Many people use fantasy to predict the future to fill this uncertainty. Dougal Dixon's work may be the most interesting.

Scottish paleontologist Dougal Dixon has published more than 100 books. He is best known for “After Man: The Zoology of the Future” (1981) and “Man After Man – Anthropology of the Future” (1990). His book introduced ‘fictional evolution’, which later influenced dystopian science fiction.
In “After Man,” Dixon describes the hypothetical evolution of a hypothetical animal species over 50 million years, which he calls “posthomic.” The book depicts a world made up of fused continents and over 100 new animal species. The movie ‘Afterman’ is receiving favorable reviews around the world. Shizuno Nishimori produced the novel as a stop-motion documentary in 1990.
'Man After Man' was released 9 years after 'After Man' and focuses on human evolution from 200 to 5 million years later. The book discusses human technological, social, and biological evolution. Dixon discusses parasites, elective surgery, and technological advances, predicting that humans will evolve into multiple species capable of surviving in space and underwater. Modern humans will become extinct as technology disappears and human descendants revert to animal-like food and survival instincts.
