Wow, this is full of surprisingly good creature design. Particularly, something about the “hexapod” creatures, with the thumbs becoming manipulators while the other fingers become the lower leg, is really satisfying to me. My favorite might be the donkey-looking one on the fourth slide, with the big humanoid head and the axe.
Also a huge fan of the flying one with a wing that had a finger at the end that folds up during flight. Super alien compared to bats and pterosaurs, who had their manipulators in the center of the wing as opposed to the tip.
Virgin Elephant Man lacking any trunk VS Chad Titan with a lip-like trunk and actual elephant-surpassing size.
Alright but fr tho, this is great. Plenty of these post-humans have creative designs not seen in Man After Man or All Tomorrows. And haters legit can't call any of the similar designs "rip-offs" because they're still logical to some extent; I.e., the grey-colored "fish-man" on top of the 10th slide might look like a Swimmer, but that's because both are the logical conclusion of "human descendant in water" concept and not plagiarism or whatever.
Really digging the recurring Asteromorph-esque theme of fingers extending into basically their own extra limbs (even if only in function), it's such a cool way to get around the limitation of mammals only having four typical limbs and jives with humans' reliance for digits like opposable thumbs.
Why does it feel like I'm reading an update or companion piece to Dougal Dixon's Man After Man? These things are definitely out there in terms of design.

My favorite posthuman design is when their finger digits evolve out of proportion.
Yo
Man after man x all tomorrows lovechild
you were not kidding, this is SICK, aswell as being obscure, i cant find a single lead to this no matter where i look

So cool!
Translate this & I'm here for it!
Most people think of Joseph Merrick when they read "elephant man" but I am a woman of culture
