The essay "The Man of the Year Million" or "Of a Book Unwritten" was written by Herbert George Wells in 1893. It was repeatedly published in various publications (for example, Tuapeka Times, volume XXVI, issue 4079, February 28, 1894), and is also included in the anthology "Apeman, Spaceman", 1968.
In this work, the author describes the reflections of a certain Professor Holzkopf (presented in his book "The Necessary characters of a Man of the Distant Future, derived from the Existing Stream of Trends") about the future of man from the perspective of the theory of evolution, which gained popularity at that time. He compares the changes that have occurred with the appearance of a person over the years from the Stone Age to the present, and, taking into account the main trends in the development of society and science, assumes what a person will be like in a few millennia.
It is believed that the essay "The Man of the Year Million" or "Of a Book Unwritten" was written by Herbert Wells (Herbert George Wells) in 1893, for the first time described the appearance of representatives of the most famous alien race now - "gray" (Grey aliens). Wells proposed the idea that after thousands of years, humanity will evolve into a race of skinny gray-skinned creatures with large bald heads, thin arms and legs, as well as large eyes and a small toothless mouth.

The content of this work to the phenomenon of aliens, some indirect. There are no direct descriptions of aliens or spaceships, there's not a hint of any other civilization. However, it is believed that this is the first book described the appearance of representatives is now the most famous race of aliens that are considered canonical and emerging not only in the pages of books and in the films, but in eyewitness accounts of the last few decades.
Wells suggested the idea that after thousands of years mankind evolyutsioniruet in race skinny serologic beings with large bald heads:
The eyes are large, lustrous, beautiful, soulful, and above them, no longer divided into durable brownie ridges, is the top of the head, glittering, hairless dome, a beautiful nose is not allocated even a single fold, so as not to disturb their incredible shadows the symmetry of that calm face, no vestigial ears, mouth is a small, perfectly round aperture, toothless and senseless, lifeless, devitalized, does not have the useless emotions that violate its roundness, he's like the full moon or the evening star, on the wide firmament of face. This is the face that sees the Professor in the future.
The need in development of the body the person will disappear. Instead, there will be one brain that controls various robotic devices because the core functionality of the body will replace the machine, thanks to advances in physics, chemistry and Microbiology.
This description of man's future modern ufologists believe the first description of the aliens of the "grey" or "Gray". According to different hypotheses, they are cosmic travelers, whose race is more developed technically than ours, or time travellers arriving from the distant future of the Earth. Both these hypotheses confirm the connection with the images presented in the work of wells.
