I'm guessing you mean Man After Man: An Anthropology of the Future by Dougal Dixon. More a horror book than a rational extrapolation of future human evolution. For a great early attempt at this kind of thing, take a look at Olaf Stapledon's Last and First Men, published in 1930.

Man After Man is similar. However, there is another book which he or she may be referring to.

Yeah, I took a look at After Man and Man After Man, and neither is the book I was thinking of, although they are similar.
