| 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!

I don't know if you have ever read any of these "theories", but some believe that humanity was the result of genetic engineering by aliens, 230 million years ago. Others even believe that it wasn't aliens, but future humans (which creates an incredible paradox) My point is, if this did happen (which I know it didn't, but still...), then which prehistoric lifeforms do you think have been genetically modified? My own personal vote goes for Tyrannosaurus Rex. I mean, what was up with those arms?... |

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." | |

Yep - Blibbering Humdingers are LETHAL. But fun to squash. |

I've been watching Life on the BBC and realised. We live on a very strange planet, half the animals look like they were made up. I mean a lizard, that has an organic wire guide missile in it's mouth, can change colour and has eyes on independent turrets? That must be artificial. |

The Sarcastic Fringe Head. No, I didn't make that up. It's a species of fish, whose mouths have huge flaps, used in territorial displays.They look insane. |

Urgh... I just googled it, and realised that no matter how many times I look at it, it still repulses me to the point of retching. The convict fish is kinda weird. |

Life is very interesting. And random, like the pent up randomness within me. You're in for a world of hurt... |

Well, a Blibbering Humdinger is a bright orange creature, roughly a metre or so in height, with one leg, unfocused eyes, and an extremely large tongue. They usually make a "blibbering" sound, hence their name, and also delight in blowing raspberries. They are very annoying, presumably as a defense aginst predation, but it rarely works, as it is so annoying that often quite peaceful herbivores will try and kill it, just to stop it from annoying them. Below is a non-colour sketch; |

Maybe they were genetically engineered. |

Nope. They just exist. No one knows why. (Except for President Sarkozy, but that's another story...) |
