Description
Happy New Year everyone!

Depicted here is a postuman "monkey-morph" adapted to the environment of orbital space stations, spaceships and moons with low gravity. These posthumans are half the size of an average baseline human, albeit with larger heads and longer limbs. Their smaller bodies mean that they consume less resources and are more comfortable in the confined spaces of their adaptive habitats while their long limbs and digits make them skilled climbers and manual operators, capable of using both hands and feet with purpose. Living in environments which tend towards having less light and warmth than a baseline human is comfortable with, monkey-morphs compensate with a thine layer of fur over most of their body and significantly larger eyes. The lower gravity has also resulted in a drastic increase to their cranial capacity, making them significantly more intelligent than their terrestrial baseline cousins. Despite this greater intellect, their diminutive and ape-like appearance mean that these post-humans nevertheless suffer regular discrimination from other humans across space. As such, monkey-morphs prefer to isolate themselves in their habitats, only interacting with others as they feel necessary. Believed to have been adapted long ago for the purpose of extended space exploration and colonization, monkey-morphs carry that legacy with them in a variety of roles ranging from asteroid miners, interplanetary traders and transporters, or orbital farmers. There are even a few developing colonies of monkey-morphs on lower gravity worlds at the edges of human space.
