| 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. While unregistered users are able to browse the forum on a basic level, registering an account provides additional forum access not visible to guests as well as the ability to join in discussions and contribute yourself!

Exactly what it says on the tin. I wonder how hard it would be to grow a house? |

Everybody wants to find a buried treasure chest. But no one wants to bury one... If you do, be my guest. | |

I read that there were plants developed that produce plastics, but apparently since there hasn't been any noticeable surge in "plant plastics" that they never caught on... Maybe they are actually just in development as well and I simply misread... ehn. |

Well saying plastics can not always mean the same thing. Plastics are generally created from a mass of monomers joined together, how would a plant accomplish this? |

Time flows like a river. Which is to say, downhill. We can tell this because everything is going downhill rapidly. It would seem prudent to be somewhere else when we reach the sea. "It is the old wound my king. It has never healed." | |

They could have a LOT of enzymes, or maybe an acid? |

I know of organic technology already being used. Bacteria is used for things like cleaning oil spills, making medicine, etc... And someone in England is breeding wallabies as "quiet lawnmowers". |
