In the distant future (or at least 20 Minutes into the Future), humanity has declined, and animals (whether all of them, or a few certain kinds) become the new dominant species. Here, the humans might be extinct and animals now roam the world freely; there might be scenes of them living on manmade living places if any of them existed at all. Alternatively, there might be only a few humans left, either scattered away or confined to a single location. They may have regressed (whether just culturally or outright becoming animals themselves) so that they can't form a modern-like society anymore; they're no longer the dominant species. In some examples, humanity instead is getting along just fine, with the new species simply coexisting alongside them. Sometimes, the animals might have become Funny Animals or Beast Men (which one it is depends on whether the work leans more to the comedic side and uses this trope to justify a World of Funny Animals setting or whether it leans more to the drama side and uses this trope to speculate a hypothetical future for social commentary). There may or may not be an in-universe "evolution" happening to them; here they have quite literally become the new "man". Furthering in this direction, the humanoid animals may even see the humans (if there are any) as "animals", either as a Human Pet, human cattle, etc. Plots involving this setting might be about how animals live now that they're the dominant species, or they may focus on the few humans who tried to survive in the "new world" full of animals. It's generally accepted that, if humanity were to go extinct (or even if they didn't), given enough time, another species could rise to the task of attaining human-level sentience. However, the idea that a humanoid body plan is a necessary requirement for this to come to pass has come under increased scrutiny in recent years; in all likelihood, a species that gained intelligence equal to humanity would likely look not too dissimilar to its ancestors. Just as humans and the other great apes share common features, a sapient bird, for example, would probably still resemble whichever avian family it came from. A Sub-Trope of Humanity's Wake and Humans Are Not the Dominant Species. Might be the justification for a World of Funny Animals. Cockroaches Will Rule the Earth is a subtrope. See also Uplifted Animal, which is how the animals become smarter. |

The setting of Little Tail Bronx (where Tail Concerto, Solatorobo: Red the Hunter and Fuga: Melodies of Steel take place) is set thousands of years after humankind went extinct and was replaced by the Caninu (anthropomorphic dogs) and Felineko (anthropomorphic cats). A Japan-only artbook for Solatorobo explains that prior to the end of the "Old World", the Australian government organized a team of researchers known as the "XII Owls" to study the strange "Juno" machines scattered across the planet, and this team was given several dogs and cats to raise for the purposes of maintaining mental health and morale. Yurlungur — an AI personality born from Australia's own natural Juno — assumed that this was purely an act of love on the humans' part, hence why she chose dogs and cats to be humankind's successors following the "Reset" that restarted all life on the planet. | |

Tokyo Jungle is set in a world in which there are no humans, the city of Tokyo is falling into disrepair without any maintenance, and a new ecosystem is forming in its ruins where multiple species of herbivores and carnivores compete for survival. The cause of this is eventually revealed to be humans from an apocalyptic future attempting to transplant themselves back to the 21st century with time travel, creating a Time Paradox which causes all present-day humans to vanish. | |

While All Tomorrows focuses mostly on Human Subspecies, one race noted descended from a type of lizard formerly kept as livestock which eventually became sapient, while the humans which farmed them eventually become completely bestial and themselves became livestock to the lizards. While the Saurosapients descended from completely non-human ancestors, they were considered human for all intents and purposes. | |

A story in Doctor Who Magazine has a Jerkass billionaire travelling back in time with a hunting party to prehistoric times to kill animals extinct in the present, believing that travelling back in time makes them part of history, and thus unable to change it. After he almost wipes out a primitive mammal, a party of humanoid reptiles come back from the same era — an alternate version that ensued as a result of his actions going off successfully. | |

In SCP Foundation, the Foundation labels such an event as an "SK-class dominance shift scenario" and actively works to intercept anything with the potential to cause it. It's revealed that we inverted this with Bigfoot and supplanted them as the dominant species on Earth, with the Foundation higher-ups living in fear of them one day attempting to return the favor. | |

In Red Dwarf, while Lister was in stasis, a radiation leak killed every other human on board the Red Dwarf, and his cat's descendants evolved into a civilization of sapient humanoids in the cargo hold who worshipped him as a god. By the time Lister wakes up three million years later, the cats have fought a holy war over the color of his hat and left the ship, leaving behind a few infirm or idiotic who gradually died off until there was only one left on board. | |

In Our Shadow takes place 50,000 years after a hyper-advanced human civilization apparently wiped itself out and left their hyper-advanced technology all over the globe, including caches of weapons under stasis fields with only a few intelligence tests locking them up. In the interceding millennia many species of animal that had grasping appendages evolved rapidly in response to the variety of artifacts left behind by humanity, developing sapience even. It is later revealed in the stinger of Book 1 that a human ship has been circling the solar system for millennia, and is now coming back after detecting the flare used by Bray. | |

Animal Farm has a localized version of this, where the livestock overthrow the human owners of Manor Farm and establish a society where the animals are in charge. It becomes a Literal Metaphor by the end, where the pigs, the leaders of the revolution who by that point have sold out their ideals in favor of maintaining an iron grip on power, have become virtually indistinguishable from humans. George Orwell intended it as a Roman à Clef satire of the trajectory of the Russian Revolution, with the pigs' leader Napoleon serving as a direct analogue to Josef Stalin. | |

Saturday Night Live has a series of sketches called "Bear City" in which a meteor strikes an American city, driving the human population underground and allowing the bears to rise up and fill the roles formerly filled by humans.

Utawarerumono: It's implied that the surface was made uninhabitable for a time and the surviving humans fled into sterile underground shelters. However, generations underground decayed their immune systems and when the surface had recovered, they could no longer return to it. The half-human hybrids populating the planet actually descend from a vast series of genetic experimentation projects that were undertaken in a hidden underground lab, apparently as part of a project to reclaim the uninhabitable Earth above. The only remaining humans are Hakuowlo and the Tatari, who were transformed into their current forms by the aforementioned Hakuowlo as punishment for dissecting his wife and child. | |

Forest Hill takes place in a distant future resembling the 1990's. Humans disappeared in the distant past and took much of their technology with them — various religions have formed around the expectation that humanity will return. | |

GURPS: The 'Furry' expansion suggests this as a potential backstory, in the various forms 'animals usurp humanity' could take, from deliberate revolution to accidental extinction. | |

At least some areas of Gamma World are like this, with Uplifted Animal factions dominating society and humans (mutant or otherwise) either degenerated to primitivism or absent altogether. | |

Hc Svnt Dracones features the corporate colonies on Mars mass-producing human-animal hybrids called "Vectors" to repopulate the solar system after the Earth is destroyed by a nuclear war. In the successive centuries baseline humanity gradually goes extinct. | |

Rock and Rule occurs on an Earth where humanity eradicated itself, leaving the dogs, cats and rats to ascend mastery of the world. It seems they can now interbreed, as none of the characters seem to fit neatly into canine, feline or murine physiology. | |
