Future Family Tree forecasts a future in which humans are extinct, and genetically modified organisms, altered with human DNA, evolve to fill new environmental niches. The clay plaques are signposts to those genetically human heirs, illustrating their origins. The plaques are intended for installation in a cave in Nevada, for future hominids to discover.
