| 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!

What would the world be like if Pangea and the P-Tr and KT extinction never occurred, therapsids ruled the herbivore niches, theropods ruled the carnivore niches (but no other dinosaurs, and birds never evolved), and pterosaurs ruled the skies? |

The Alternate Earth thing already in progress by JohnFaa? Or do you mean something totally different? |

In JohnFaa's project the cruotarsans are the predators. In mine the theropods are the predators. |

Ah. I see. Why the therapods, though, and not the gorgonopsids or the raisuchoids? |
