Have not seen TFIW yet, so I cannot comment on it. Was it like Dougal Dixon's books on his speculations about future life on Earth, including humans?

    - That was my question actually. I think most animals left on Earth in a few centuries will be domesticated varieties. - SDF - 8/26/2005 1:37:39 PM

        Most species on Earth are just as evolved as us, meaning we are just as vulnerable today to a mutant virus wiping out 80 percent of humans on Earth (n/t) - SDF - 8/27/2005 12:39:12 PM
