Congrats with your win!
It’s your turn to create a new challenge, feel free to use the text from this challenge as a template.
Let me know when it’s up and I’ll feature it in the community.

I wouldn’t know about the hence part, but I always read it as “years from now”. A bit like the opposite from “years since”.
As for the other thing, it started out with deliberately engineered beings for specific tasks like the vacuumorph.
About a hundred years later the remaining people would create new humans with the specific goal of being able to survive the harsher environment of a ravaged earth. It was these that evolved further into different creatures.
It’s a pretty far fetched story either way, I just like it for the weird pictures :)
I posted a link in one of the other replies. You can read the whole thing there if you’re interested, there’s a timeline on page 20 if you just want a quick overview.

Here is the final score:

We have a three-way tie! @Trollivier@sh.itjust.works gets to choose who wins this challenge.

There’s a copy of it in the internet archive

It’s a speculative evolution book from 1990 about how mankind might evolve in the next 5 million years. Basically the premise is that due to climate change, new species of humans are engineered to survive in a more hostile world. And then it follows these new species and their further evolutions.
The creatures in the picture above are both descended from humans.
It’s weird, bleak and very far fetched.

A copy of Man after Man:

This is such a weird book. It has leech people, underwater people, blind psychic baby people, meat mountain people, etc.

Most hosted AI image generators didn’t wanna make this, so I had to use grok, which is shitty.

Darn, I had kind of the same idea.

I just wasn’t sure yet on how to make a crummy explosion :)

*grumble* *grumble* stupid coin… 😒

Ok, let me know when it’s up. Sorry about not giving a proper reply earlier, I was a bit busy.
Anyway, looking forward to the next challenge! :)
