In other words, the series is not so much claiming "this will absolutely happen" as it is "here's a plausible possibility". Now, the first thing I want to make clear is that the very first episode (of the original British version) states that we do not know if any of the future species hypothesized will happen, but that they could. At this point, it's probably the most famous venture into speculative evolution ever (there's the actual program, companion book, a kid's show, a former exhibit in France, and even a manga!). Plus, even after 18 F***ing years, it remains one of the few televised programs about speculative evolution. TFIW holds a special place in my heart due to being one of the first speculative evolution works I've ever heard of. I've recently gotten a little interest back in the 2002 docufiction The Future is Wild, having downloaded a digital version of the companion book (although, it looks to be a different version of the companion book) for my iPad a few weeks ago.
