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.

Sorry to revive this thread, but 2 months ago, one japanese friend, send me this: https://youtu.be/XUvLbLGCn0Q?t=2m21s
I thought this intro was removed due copyright stuff. Also she said me After Man was very popular in Japan, mostly Dixon stuff.
Im still impressed since 6 years ago I saw it here.

I'm never going to get over how happy and cheerful it sounds over the part showing human ruins.

At the end the kid is like every misanthrope: "Please let all of mankind die horribly so that these biologically impalausible critters evolve! Hihihi!"

This is just a one-off music video from a variety show, as Kain explained on the previous page:

Minna no Uta.

And it seems I was wrong, since it was not actually an educational show, but just music videos that aired between programs.

From Wikipedia:
Quote:
 
Minna no Uta (みんなのうた?), literally Everyone's Songs, is a five minute NHK TV and radio program broadcasting several times daily since 1961. The program is generally used as filler at the end of regular television programs. While many of the episodes are aimed at children, a large percentage are not, so the program enjoys a wide audience.

The program is used to introduce new songs from popular and new singers, as well as to highlight the talents of various animators and directors. A list of upcoming and currently-airing episodes is listed monthly in magazines such as Animage and Newtype.

More info, and complete list of songs: Minna no Uta - Wikipedia

As far as I can tell, that animated short is unrelated to the puppet/stop-motion documentary. (Speaking of which, that documentary features a very strange speculative dinosauroid that was discussed recently in this thread.) Dixon's works seem to be remarkably popular in Japan, and he even illustrated a xenobiology book called Greenworld which is (so far) only published in Japanese.

Oh god, I actually saw those single-leg hoppers in some german science TV show when they were talking about alien life and ended up making my own name up for them and draw some variations for a world I was making. (I was like 8, just to put things into perspective.)

Which means that Dougal Dixon has influenced my first foray into xenobiology and speculative biology in general waaaaaay before After Man, which for me was the point where I fully plunged into speculative evolution.

So Dougal Dixon influenced my life even before After Man.

Oh god.

Oh my god.
