Edmond Hamilton's "The Man Who Evolved" (short story, evolution, free): What will your far-future descendants look like?

A very pulpish, but quite readable, adventure involving a mad scientist. He's build a device that can transform an individual man into something humanity will be millions of years into future - so you can see humanity's future today. Of course, things go horribly wrong, even though the machine works perfectly.
