Drawing on rigorous evolutionary biology and ecological principles, Dougal Dixon constructs an entirely new bestiary of creatures — complete with illustrations, taxonomic classifications, and habitat descriptions — that chronicles how life might adapt and diversify in our absence. The book argues convincingly that evolution is a predictable force, illustrating how familiar niches would be filled by wholly unfamiliar animals descended from today's surviving species. With an authoritative yet accessible tone, and an introduction by celebrated zoologist Desmond Morris, this title stands as a foundational text in the genre of speculative evolution, captivating scientists, naturalists, and curious readers alike.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48956170043611,"sku":"2026200008699-SECONDHAND","price":80.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/5691e9fe-9ff9-45d8-882d-eaf38dfa8261.png?v=1783498614","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200008699-secondhand-after-man-a-zoology-of-the-future","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
