Description
The late Holocene running predator "Homo sapiens."Some specimens of this animal were found with trace fossils of hair near its head. Its restoration with similar integument near its arms here is tentative.
This animal shared its habitat with the vicious, sickle-clawed, pack-hunting "Cat," the long-necked "Horse," and the sail-backed "Cow."

Thanks for the feedback & appreciation!
I made the "human" butt-less on purpose, since the latest research hinted that everyone might have been drawing dinosaurs with no muscles or fat in their tail bases for the last ten years.

What did I TELL you??? No muscles or fat or skin or anything that would allow the poor things to move!

GSP style? WAAAAYYYYYY overmuscled! Since Homo sap did not need to walk on its arms, it's clear they needed no muscles there beyond anything needed for a black outline. Since it was not a cursorial creature, the calves need only follow the outline of the bones (small cenmial crests!) and the upper leg elements! IF said creature could not run (remember the graviportal feet and ankles!), then what need for large muscles there?
Utterly hilarious! LOVE it!

I can't tell you how often I've wondered when we go extinct how our remains would be interpreted by other species.

Me too... I also wonder a lot about how our society will be interpreted in 2000-3000 years - if mankind survives that long.

I'll be darned, I did a bunch of drawings on a similar theme - what cats would look like restored if there were no other carnivores, etc, etc. Just never uploaded them. It's instructive for paleoartists.

I'd love to see them if possible...

I need to clean them up so it doesn't look like I drew them holding the pencil in my mouth. Your interest is very flattering - and I'm amused someone else has thought about this. Way back when I was a teenager and first really began learning anatomy I drew a ton of mammals drawn as though they were dinosaurs. Tons of fun

Put them up in sketches! I wanna see them and so does Dragon....esq, IF you please!

I'd love to see these concepts too; looking all over the place for other "reconstructions"...

Right now I'm stuck away from home (bathroom floor was a few splinters away from collapsing) but as soon as I get back to my main computer I will have to look them up.

I really adore concepts like these. I saw a similar one representing a giraffe as a naked, swamp-dwelling monstrosity. I'd really love to see the ecosystem in which this "Homo sapiens" lived. I'll browse "GSP" in hope to find more of this.

I am missing something here. What is "GSP"?

Gregory Paul is a very influential palaeontologist, even after his bizarre copyright rant, I wouldn't want to mock him in any way.
This drawing is not a personal reaction against him, but against the "shrink wrapping" method of dinosaur reconstruction that became popular in the past years.

I think the "GSP" thing is a rude joke about Gregory Paul, a notable dinosaur paleontologist who's been making a massive public idiot of himself lately (he tried to copyright the concept "drawings of dinosaur skeletons, with the probable flesh shaded in in black, running fast, viewed from the side" and claim anyone who used that obvious way of showing off a skeleton was plagiarising him).
Um, and judging from that drawing, his attempts to draw live dinosaurs wind up looking skeletal anyway. I personally can't remember what his live dinosaurs look like.

Hahaha. This is classic. Like someone else said, if you had lumped it as well it'd be perfect GSP. XD

Actually, we made that joke somewhere in the comments here... "Gorilla" is the mature form of H. sapiens...

Awesome. You should do more of these.
What future sapient is doing these reports?
I'd hate to be the future sociologist who has to study our internet memes.

Perhaps the "final beings" from All Tomorrows?
This is just a very scrappy-sketch, I'm devoting most of my energy these days into palaeoart, which I'm still keeping under covers...

Mmm, a scene with a pack of "the vicious, sickle-clawed cats" eviscerating a giant, sail-backed cow...

But make sure it's realistic - none of imaginary whiskers and mammary glands

Aw, I see what you're aiming for. You're making a bit of a comment on how we never put enough flesh on our restorations of prehistoric animals, and how this would make things incredibly inaccurate in restorations. I like this a lot though, I sort of wish that we did look that badass.

What does GSP stand for?
By the way, this is hilarious!

It's the second time this happened, after the "turtle beast..."
