      I mean we have flightless birds already, their vestigial wings could turn prehensile again eventually

        Note: Baxter can be dry at times but i always enjoy the worlds he creates.

          We seemed to have it all hammered out. Love me some Cambrian explosion, wild shit! It was like the 1910-1920s for the industrial age. "Throw it at the wall and see what sticks!"

                  We'll just have to see what spots get opened up by lack of biodiversity to know for sure. There won't be new crabs and weasels if there aren't enough prey for them.

                    Crustaceans: Crab

                    Mammals: Weasel Crab

                    Plants: Tree Grass. Everything grass.

                    Amphibians & Reptiles: Unchanged because they are perfect Crab

                    Birds: 360° around back to dinosaurs First of all, avian dinosaurs are dinosaurs. Secondly, 360° doesn't really make sense, probably they meant 180°. Finally, crab.

                    Fungi: I shan't speculate on the affairs of gods.

                    Moral of the story: You might not like it but decapods are peak animal evolution. All roads lead to crab.

                        I respect the hell out of Baxter, he's a hard sci-fi artist. However, he's so unrelentingly bleak I had to quit reading his stuff.

                                Can you share where you felt that way? Been a while since I've read him.

                                    The midpoint to the end of Evolution, humans basically devolve and ultimately go extinct.

                                    It's been awhile since I've read anything by him as well.

                                    I remember another book where artifically created people inside a dwarf star were dying due to solar harvesting, IIRC. I remember it being depressing but fascinating. Don't remember how it ends.

                                      you seem like an expert and I was actually wondering this yesterday while I was out on a walk cause I tend to think about silly things. So Theropods evolved into birds right? what about Sauropods or like Triceratops? or did they just go extinct
