| 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! Registration is free and instantaneous. Join our community today! |

They believe in natural selection, so this isn't too shattering to the creationist movement. They just don't recognize natural selection as evolution. |

It's still a finch! It did not turn into a dog so you agree with Hitler and Stalin. But this is pretty interesting. Nice find. |

Who are you saying is like Hitler and Stalin? If you're saying me, that info is directly from the creation museum. :shudder: |

For your information, Stalin, despite being an atheist, opposed evolution almost as much as religion; he hated "Western science." And Hitler. . .oh, I don't even WANT to get started on this one. He seems to have been a lot of things, but a dedicated evolutionist isn't one of them. |

I saw this. Ironic that it's a finch, which was Darwin's example in The Origin of Species. |

Are you plausible?

No kidding. Maybe we should just forget the rest of the planet and focus on these islands for important news on this front. Perhaps Galapagos deserves a spec project devoted to just how wild things will get there...

A brother and sister mated with each other and all their children did the same, so they're interbreeds. |

But at least they're inbreeders with style ![]() But yes, the Galapagos should be watched more closely. Its a very recent environment, and finches are among the last denizens to get there, so perhaps its just a matter of time until they end up like Hawaii's finches, with nectar drinkers and other things |

Terror finches, perhaps? |

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." | |
