Speculative biology is simultaneously a science and form of art in which one speculates on the possibilities of life and evolution. What could the world look like if dinosaurs had never gone extinct? What could alien lifeforms look like? What kinds of plants and animals might exist in the far future? These questions and more are tackled by speculative biologists, and the Speculative Evolution welcomes all relevant ideas, inquiries, and world-building projects alike. With a member base comprising users from across the world, our community is the largest and longest-running place of gathering for speculative biologists on the web.

A new population of orangutauns, possibly as many as 2,000, have been discovered in a mountainous area of Indonesia. Even cooler, they're a rare black-furred subspecies, Pongo pygmaeus morio. I've never even HEARD of black orangs!

Oh wow, I've never even heard if those. It's amazing the things we've yet to discover. Though, I wonder what's the reasoning for the fur color ?

Wow! Black orangutans! They look kind of like gorillas.
Check out the Postocene!

I saw this on another website but thought somebody had just mistyped a word, but now I see the picture.
I wish I could give the public a true picture of the queen as she appeared at her best, but this would be impossible, even had she permitted a photograph to be taken, for her charming play of expression while in conversation, the character and intellect which were then revealed, were only half seen when the face was in repose. -Lilias Underwood when speaking of Empress Myeongseong

"I was born in the dark. I went out into the light, and your Majesty, it is my displeasure to inform you that I have returned to the dark. I envision a Seoul of towering buildings filled with Western establishments that will place herself back above the Japanese barbarians. Great things lie ahead for the Kingdom, great things. We must take action, your Majesty, without hesitation, to further modernize this still ancient kingdom."-Min Young-ik to Empress Myeongseong
