There used to be spec evo threads all over /v/ and /tv/ back in the day.
I remember grabbing the pdf for All Tomorrows on /tg/ and when I tried to share it some guy though it was a virus because it was sub-3mbs. Must have been 10 years ago.

Yea it's a book, I think a relatively old one for the genre, might be consider one of the cornerstone works.
Life After People from what I remember was mostly about how the city-of-the-week will collapse over the next 100 years, so I am not sure it falls under the umbrella of spec-evo.

Not that many shows about the subject, I know of OP, Alien Planet and Extraterrestrial, the latter two of which are aliens, not evolution of Earth life

Nature is wild. There's no need for this fanfic mumbo jumbo, go watch some real documentaries.

Anyone remember the cartoon version of it?

No, but it looks interesting. French/Belgian/Canadian design?

It's by Canada, Singapore and the US apparently.

>>214665710
I haven't seen the documentary (yet), but I own the book version of The Future Is Wild and the book version of The Future Is Wild is supremely kino. I love the topic of future evolution (AKA speculative evolution). My favourite creatures from the book version of The Future Is Wild are flishes (AKA flying fishes).

My school library used to have Man After Man and I fucking loved Man After Man so much that I kept on borrowing it. Good times.

Just because they have super fast muscle fibers?

I was tree planting one summer and on a day off I was shitfaced in a tiny town in northern BC and went to a used bookstore. I found Man After Man and at first laughed because it seemed like a Tobias Funke joke. I leafed through it and bought it immediately. It made the rounds in our camp that summer everyone loved it. I asked the super slut on our crew if that was the name of her autobiography and she cried for some reason kek
