| 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.

I disagree. The way I see it evolving is for a omnivoric bat species to become brachiating, the wings evolve to be more arm like, and then trees begin to fade away because of climate change. After they lost trees, the primary form of plant-food in their diet, they began to hunt more and more. Slowly they evolve to be bigger, faster, stronger, and less and less relient on vegetation for their diet. Sort of like hominids on a different path. As for massive bugs, I haven't seen the episode but i have to say 'no'. Don't get me wrong, a descended arthropod could evolve enough so it's shell is reinforced, have thicker legs, yadda yadda, so the physics I can get passed for their basic design. But unless they are fully aquatic, respiration won't happen. Even with high oxygen, more then a few feet long would be difficult. So, unless they live almost completely submerged, I don't see it coming. |

This week's episode left quite an impression... especially since I wasn't expecting Nigel Marvin to show up. XDD... or expecting him to get ate. Oh Nigel... you allways have to outdo everybody else, eh? |

Nigel isn't a bad person (AFAIK), but he annoys the shit out of me. Plus, everyone on Youtube seems to think prehistoric park, sea monsters and chased by dinosaurs are real, all because of him |

Really there are a large amount of people who think those shows are real? They must be idiots or something. |

Welcome to the Internet. Unlike in the past where the stupid people just worked in mines or were mown down for king and country, now we have the Internet and anyone can anyone else on earth. Anyone. I thought about mentioning Nigel, but spoilers are aptly named. Did Cutter really create them? Or did he clone them? But that means that they are created from themselves, so they can't have ever first been created. Ouch, time travel hurts. I think we need a Doctor. |

The Mid-Atlantic nympho time agent or the murder/thief who does it on a sailing ship which means it is family fun. |

The time agent. Trust me, we don't need a 'Doctor' to do his job. Well, maybe if it's Eccleston. |

You know what I don't think it's cutter that makes them but instead the goverment people who control the ark. And if they are having the creatures created from them selves then they are going in a terminator fashion of time travel where time travel allows the future too create itself with minor differences that are for better and worse. For example in terminator the time traveling of the machines caused judgement day(the day when they took control and nuked the planet) to be delaid but this caused the machines to have more advanced human technology when they started. Pieces of the time traveling robots also advanced technology more and allowed an alternet skynet to be created. but the human time traveler also became the father of his best freind and created the machihnes worst enemy ect. Basicly my point is that the future is creating itself from the future and it is going to cause changes that might be for better, worse or both because they are going in a terminator time travel fashion at this second. |

Speaking of Primeval, did you guys hear the news that the fourth season just got cancelled? On the other hand, a spin-off series set in the United stated and a theatrical Primeval movie from WB are both rumored to be in the works. |

That'd be great, I saw the season finale, and it was left on a cliffhanger ! Abby and Connor were stuck in a Cretaceous while Danny is stuck in Africa 3 million years ago ! Though here's a question, since the raptor and Helen died right next to the homonids and left there, does that mean time will slightly alternate, and she and the raptor bones will be dug up !? That'd have some serious reprocusions ! I think they should try to continue the series as is so we can know what the heck happened to our beloved characeters, aswell as knowing Sarahs plan ! |
