The auditorium hushes. A dapper-looking vixen steps up to the podium, smiles, and taps on her microphone.
Now, every anthro is familiar with the modern domesticated human, Homo familiaris, as beloved pets and meals!
But it may shock some of our audience that, in the distant past, another NON-domestic human sub-species existed, tentatively termed “Homo sapiens”.
This extinct, less-willing proto-human species is still something of a mystery to modern science. What were they like? Did they have rich internal lives? Did they have a complex culture? How did they taste? And most importantly, where did they GO?
In this paper, our authors — Mira Rava (PhD) and Jolene Malu (MS/MS/MS) — present an analysis of this ancient “Homo sapiens” species, their disappearance from this world (and into happy predators’ bellies), and what their disappearance implies for the future of domesticated humans in our modern, predator-prey world.
The authors appreciate commentary on this pre-publication draft of their newest research!
—————————————
(I highly recommend that you download or at least full-screen this document, as it's written in journal format: two columns, plus figures. It's hard to "scroll through" in the same way you'd read most stories.)
This is something new I wanted to try, inspired by conversations with NipCoyote!
(I also wanted to mimic okutrooper24’s new stories, which you all should read, because they’re awesome!)
This is an in-universe scientific paper, explaining how humans as we know them (Homo sapiens, generally NOT super eager to be eaten and digested) were slowly domesticated by the many sapient anthro species that had co-evolved on Earth, and slowly evolved into the vore-happy, prey-slutty humans (Homo familiaris, eager to become food for beloved predators) my readers know and love!
So, in a very real sense, all my stories don’t feature human beings as OUR world knows them. This research paper explores how an entire species picked up a vore fetish!
I had a lot of fun writing from the perspective of a researcher, trying to reconstruct what humans — OUR kind of humans — were like, without any experience or real context.
The VERY sexy feral-fox vore in the middle of the story was drawn by markusfreeman320, and you should favorite it on his page: https://aryion.com/g4/view/843928
All the other figures were either made by me, or generated by AI programs!

wow, this was really something(in a good way) I feel like a need to reread again to comment properly. I love it, also not a fan of feral but that art of the fox surely is amazing

A happy and full-bellied fox!
(If you liked the pic, go favorite it on MarkusFreeman's page!)
I had a lot of fun with this overall document, so I eagerly anticipate your thoughts once you have time to reread :)

I actually have some ideas already, I may send you a private msj so we can chat about them. Some cool implications

As one of the authors who inspired me to start writing, It is cool to see the quality of your work keeps improving. Looking forward to your next story.

Ah, thank you! If I inspired your work, I'll have to read through the stuff you posted :)

That would be awesome.

I am curious, which is the canon way humans became the lovable snacks and pets we all know? This story implies Homo Sapiens went extinct far before the modern era. Older stories, however, reference a pelli human war and the use of quick digestion pills.

This is the canon explanation -- that Homo sapiens went extinct a long time ago, and the humans we see in all these stories are Homo familiaris.
The pelli-human war is an idea we haven't used in a long time, it came from some of the earliest worldbuilding.
Quick-digest pills are still canonical, though!

I love this story.
Honestly, this would be in an alternative timeline in where Ian or any predators that eat foxes do not exist.

i feel compelled to do some back of the napkin math
10.9 billion humans, approximate that to 10^10
400 humans per pelli per year
average lifespan of 20-40 years, let's assume an even distribution, so, 30 on average
That means that 1/3 of them are above 20
about half of them can make four babies a year, which averages to two babies a year. Let's assume they all start doing so at age 20. (I know this assumption definitely isn't lore-accurate but I want to get an upper bound.)
with all these assumptions, this means that, at most, there are (10 billion * 1/3 * 4) = 13.333 billion humans born every year.
Divide that by 400 humans / pelli / year, and we get an upper bound of 333 million pellis.
But many humans are not always pregnant, and furthermore if the situation above was occurring then the human population would not be declining.
This decline is slow enough that I'm writing it off and assuming a constant population. Just assume that there are bigger error bars on the next bit.
If the average human lives to 30, then 1/30th of the population is eaten each year. If the population is constant, that suggests an upper bound of around (10 billion / 30) = 333 million humans born each year, and therefore an upper bound of around (333 million / 400) = 833 thousand pellis.
That's not a huge amount. For real-life reference, about that many people live in Liverpool, or Indianapolis - and they're presumably spread across the entire globe.

Yeah, I've run actual detailed long-term simulations in Python (over a span of hundreds/thousands of years, tweaking the parameters) and it doesn't work at all. It's actually worse than the numbers you laid out, since population decay is essentially exponential as you start removing humans from the reproductive population.
Population dynamics are... not realistic in Graduation, we had to acknowledge that behind the scenes.
We've sorta hand-waved it in several ways, but it's one of the genre conventions we've had to ignore for the sake of sexy stories -- along with "how the heck does cock vore work biologically", "where does digestion take place in anal vore", and "where does the mass of digested humans go, if our predators aren't morbidly obese but also don't have bowel movements half the size of their own body".
...but yeah, you're totally right, and we know it XD

clearly pellis are powered by nuclear fusion

this comment is not about the story:
It is a bit sad for me that the file is now a pdf and not the original of the page since now it will be much more difficult for me to translate it, even so I understand that I am only one of your readers and you have the right to upload your writings as you want

I can fix that! I'll private message you.

I sent you a PM. I still plan to upload all my stories in Word document form, this was just a special case since it had very complex formatting.
