| 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! |

The aim of this project is to create the GMed lifeforms living on Genesis, along with their habitats and ecosystems. I shall provide more information on the sentient races, along with their home worlds, shortly. |

I'm sure building alien trees would be harder than creatures. |

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." | |

Are you plausible?

I've found it's harder to make alien trees seem alien. Plant design is so fundamental and (IMO) efficient that it's hard to 'think outside the box' with them. But that's just me... |

Dinosaurs eat man, woman inherits the Earth.

That's why I almost completely forego plants in my projects. Anyway, seems like you're doing a good job running with my idea. Good luck with further development. |

Good so far, yup. I draw concepts of plants and sizes, but that's it. |

Thanks! As soon as I get some rather bothersome homework out of the way, I'll start posting the species, ready for modification. Indeed, and this is one reason why I won't be covering them, except the more extraordinary varieties. |
