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.

Very sorry for the inactivity. Final exams have taken my life over recently. They're over now though.

So I will post some creatures tomorrow, then close the Silurian. We'll then vote ... if anyone is still interested...

Can't wait to start participating here in the Devonian.

Awesome, glad someone other than me is still reading this :)

Devonian submissions can start as soon as we're done with the Silurian ... I'll close Silurian submissions at 6 pm (Eastern time) tomorrow, and then it just depends on how long voting takes.

So if you have any last minute Silurian submissions, get them in now! I'll go do that myself, in fact...

Can you give me a thread with Silurian phyla so I can make my own?

The Silurian is closed.

Can everyone put polls in their threads?

Since it's now the Devonian we can start on more land based ecosystems.

For the Devonian & later, land-based creatures should have the continent they are from mentioned. We are using (IIRC) the real-world continent movements, so the Devonian continents are Euramerica (North America + Europe + western Asia), Gondwana (South America + Africa + Australia + Antarctica + India). There are a few smaller landmasses too.

We should probably close submissions for the Devonian soon, so we can do the voting by the end of this month, and start the Carboniferous in September.

August 20th as a cutoff date, maybe?

We have been on Devonian for a while and have built up a good list of organisms. August 20th sounds like a good cut-off date. I'm going to have to get one or two more topics in before that.

Ok, August 20th.

I have a couple of plants to post before then too.

Since it's past the cut-off date I'm going to put polls up on my topics now.

You know you have the power to make polls? Just make them yourself.

Does closing the Devonian submissions at the end of this month sound good?
