Dissecting Worlds Series 10, Ep 6: Animal Men

This time our hulking lizardman and tiny seagull look at animals in science fiction. So that is uplifted earth creatures and coincidentally similar aliens with special attention on:

• Planet of the Apes in its sundry incarnations


• David Brin's Uplift Saga magnus opus


• Adrian Tchaikovsky's Children of Time


• Cat girls and anthropomorphic Space Aliens


• With nods to other pulp and hard SF takes on the tropes.


• And we utterly fail to cover Elephant Men despite wanting to


• Matt's bookshelf features Rome which will be a surprise.
