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.

The discovery of an intelligent alien civilization is likely to be one of the most important discoveries humans will ever make. This discovery will likely cause a great amount of fear and confusion asuming the government does not cover it up. Many religous groups could be completly outraged and could refuse to accept that we share the universe or even resort to suicide. Great panic is likely to erupt in the public from people fearing for their safety. Worldwide, governments will likely debate about who or if we will respond. What do you guys think of this?

If these Alien Races know about us and actually care enough to glance at us, (we may be one of millions of species who can't even make it beyond our star) we could, theoretically, find some way to loudly (carving on the moon by an astronaut, etc.) beg them to show themselves to us....
