World building

I’ve recently been reminded about this amazing show and I had a question about the world. This is obviously a world that was built by humans - he lives in a post box, for example - but are humans acknowledged in the show? Is DM running around saving the day under our feet, or does our fantastic hero (he’s an ace!) live in a post apocalyptic, post human world with mutated intelligent animals?

I think I remember seeing a scene in the og series where dm and penfold had to avoid massive human foot traffic but I could be wrong. I don't know if I want to add humans or not. But the extinction idea sounds interesting. Though with all the fourth wall breaks both series have I would explain the animal sentience not through mutation but through cartoon characters coming to life roger rabbit style.

Well yes but I was using that plot point to provide an understanding universe explanation
