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.

Alien Meals; Dare we partake?

Are you plausible?

Okay, in an extraterrestrial restaurant you seat yourself to a nice meal of steak and taters, but when the plate comes to you the steak is marbled green and purple and the taters are striped red and orange. Your waiter insists that it hasn't gone bad or anything, so you come to the conclusion that it's not from Earth.

In seriousness, I'm wondering about the odds of actually finding something edible on another planet. What kind of factors need to be considered when thinking of whether humans can rely on a planet's nutritional resources?
Take a look at my exobiology subforum of the planet Nereus!
