Creatures from the future find something from our culture

Agglomerations of calcareous minerals, iron oxides and carbon residues will mark the sites of our former cities.

Radionuclides from hundreds of open-air nuclear bomb tests will appear in the sediments all around the world and radioactive wastes will remain detectable for tens of millions of years.

Tiny fragments of plastic, particles of aluminum, iron, copper, and concrete, and the tiny balls of unburnt carbon and mercury that pour out of our power stations are embedded in the muds that will one day be rocks.

Human activities like agriculture and deforestation have greatly increased the level of erosional deposition in some areas while dam building and irrigation have greatly retarded it in others.

Most of the fossilized remains that any future archaeologist will find will be of our food crops and livestock.

Dendrochronology of fossilized plant material will reveal a dramatic decline in the carbon 13-carbon 12 isotope ratio.

Spacefaring species will find the remnants of our space program on the moon.

Bump

Internet memes.

wat has forgotten should sdey so :D

something from kang history

after the dust has settled the post-apocalyptic world will be pretty comfy

Artificial Intelligence discover human remains and realize the gods were doomed to die.

The post apocalyptic isn't going to be comfy for many millions of years.
As the apocalypse is an ecological one and the earth will not be capable of supporting much life.
Dust should be expected to increase for a long time with desertification until complex systems in arid biomes reorganize, which will be a long fucking time considering the massive amount of biodiveristy loss, habitat fragmentation/degradation and physiological earth system change that is already happening on a massive scale has reduced ecological adaptive capacity and resilience to nothing.
The apocalypse started 40 years ago.

Humans now, what if future doe??

>The apocalypse started 40 years ago.
Holocene mass extinction event started over 10000 years ago.

strange idols, probably for ritualistic purposes.

I remember the book that tried to apply a current paleontology methods to current animal remains. Here is baboon.

Swans

Horse

Rhinoceros

Elephant

Cow

and finally house cat

get the genesplicers, I want this to be real.

That one isn't too far off from what I wild cow looked like

For some reason, this meme gets me every time. xD

I'm going from the point of no return for humanity.
Which IMHO started with neoliberal policy.

> not with the birth of agriculture

We still could have made it, if we knew what we do now 70 years ago.
I think agriculture was fine, the emergence of socio-economic systems from socio-ecological systems shortly after the first agricultural revolution is when things really started getting fugd

A fossilized burger

and a gigantic layer of fat.

Here's a few different interpretations of a human

Here's the last of them.

Looks very similar to late San cave paintings.

>I remember the book that tried to apply a current paleontology methods to current animal remains. Here is baboon.
What do you mean with this? like people pretending modern bones were from years ago and trying to represent them like that?

>Places like landfills would be massive gold mines for an archaeologist of the future.
They are gold mines for us right now too. Humans dumping all their trash in one big pile isn't a recent invention, we figured that out tens of thousands of years ago. Midden heaps are in fact all that remains of some very ancient people.

It is more about loss of information and speculative character or reconstruction. It's hard to guess how exactly would look animals from bones alone. The most common example supposed feathered dinos. How would you reconstruct cats or swan from just their bones alone.

We should start painting on cave walls since that seems to be a good medium to last into the future.
