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.

Bees are hairy. And I wonder where Neanderthals go? When I look for smut Google just gets snarky.

Bee don't have mammalian fur. So it doesn't apply to them. Tried finding the smut for you. Google is a pest.

It applies to all mammals, even the several species of human.


only mammals have fur.
The others aren't strictly human. They're from the homo genus, but they're hominids.

Pterosaurs may have been slightly furry.
Naked mole rats have no fur.
People have little fur.

Mammals are animals with three middle ear bones.
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.

1. Your new avatar is awesome.
2. I consider anything in the Homo genus human.
3. Pterosaur fur would be scale derived, as I said before the term Furry applies to all mammals furred or not, and Naked Mole Rats have whiskers, a type of hair.

Mammal hair is also scale derived.

No, in mammals fur evolved from secretions; scales never evolved on non-mammalian synapsids, sans those preserved from ancestral fish

Mr Faa, were pterosaur hairs secretions? How else could they have formed?

Pterosaurs were developed from reptilians, and had scale-based fur. I think.

How well preserved do we have? It might not be possible to tell.

If you build a time machine, can you tell me please?

Pterosaurs, i think, ahd scale based owing to a little research.

EDIT: But back on topic, (:lol:) have they tried any other animals? 'Cept humies?

I'd be creepy if they tried it on dolphins.

Dolphins are pretty tough so they would probably like it.

Also they are massive perverts.

To mark my glorious return, yes, pterosaurs had pycnofibrils, scale derived "fur"

And lo! it was glorious.


I thought there was a list of animals in which human sperm could survive? And dolphins were in there?
