Future in Y: The Last Man

Speculative biology is simultaneously a science and form of art in which one speculates on the possibilities of life and evolution. What could the world look like if dinosaurs had never gone extinct? What could alien lifeforms look like? What kinds of plants and animals might exist in the far future? These questions and more are tackled by speculative biologists, and the Speculative Evolution welcomes all relevant ideas, inquiries, and world-building projects alike. With a member base comprising users from across the world, our community is the largest and longest-running place of gathering for speculative biologists on the web.

It's about a future in which, somehow, all male mammals on earth died, and as consecuence, every mammal went down to extinction in a blink of an eye. The only survivors are the protagonist and his pet monkey. What kind of future ecology and life forms could arise in this situation? Not only mammals would fall, but also other mammal-dependant species, such as snakes that feed on small mammals, and vultures that depend on big predator's leftovers. I have to admit this is a very interesting alternative for the every-increasing number of Future Projects with bats, rodents and lagomorphs as future rulers of the world. What do you think?

I would have added the 'Brown' part but I thought spaces weren't allowed. I wonder if it's too late to add that? Anyway, I didn't like how Vaughn extended the Y chromosome extinction to non-humans. It was overkill. Otherwise, great series. Looking forward to the film adaptation. (Too bad Chris Evans is too old for the role now.)
