Author (All Tomorrows)

The Author is an alien researcher who studied the history of Humans and their descendants and authored a book on the subject, All Tomorrows.

At the end of the book, there is a picture of the author holding a billion year old Human skull in a tentacle-like hand attached to the middle of their body.

The author does not know how humanity went extinct, but in their opinion, it's the trip that matters, anyway.

Biology
The Author belongs to a non-humanoid species with a bilaterally symmetrical, hairless body and an erect posture. Comparing it to the Human skull that it is holding, it can be deduced that the Author is relatively short, around 90 cm or 3 ft tall.

In spite of its size, the Author's head is relatively large, possessing two large lobes and an eye-like organ with two pupils. It appears to wear clothing, concealing whatever legs it may have; although one long arm emerges from the axis of its body. The arm seems to be jointless, equipped with at least three fingers and one distant thumb.

Although nothing is known about what kind of environment the Author dwells in, from the image it can be shown that it at least contains tree-like organisms.
