How might scientists reconstruct modern animals years into the future? This is a breakdown of “All Todays” — a thought experiment from the “All Tomorrows” author C. M. Kosemen, with John Conway and Darren Naish.

Imagine what would happen if, millions of years into the future, scientists — perhaps from other planets — tried to create depictions of the long extinct organisms they found in Earth’s fossil record. This concept is part of a thought experiment, “All Todays,” written in part by the astonishing author C. M. Koseman — whose work you might have seen from his other most famous book “All Tomorrows.”

“All Todays” is a section in the larger 2012 art book “All Yesterdays,” dreamed up by not just C. M. Kosemen, but Darren Naish — a renowned zoologist, paleontologist and author, and John Conway: an immensely talented paleo-artist. And their ‘All Todays’ thought experiment of how imaginary future scientists might grossly misinterpret animals we’re familiar with is worth looking at further.

So, let’s look at the ways in which paleontologists of the future might imagine the species of the present.
