| 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!

Like the topic title and description say, I'm wondering if muscle origins at least tend to be bigger than their insertions. Although I'm not an anatomy expert (hence why I started this thread), my guess would be that bigger origins and smaller insertions would produce more force than those of equal or reversed size. Can anyone else weigh in on this? |
