Galapagos by Kurt Vonnegut Buy at: Amazon

One million years in the future, humanity has evolved into furry things with flippers.

Big doesn't always equate to evolutionary survival. Dinosaurs. The Irish elk. What if big brains also turn out to be a bit of an evolutionary dead end? More trouble than they're worth? This novel is one unfolding of that idea. And it's superbly done, with plenty of humour.
