| 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! |

We just passed the 60,000 post mark! This forum is starting to get pretty big, with almost 272 members (though many I don't seem to see too much...) and, of course, 60,000+ posts. I meant to make an announcement for the 50K mark, but there was a huge surge in posts and I missed it. Anyways, let's keep getting bigger and better until we're the number one speculative biology board on the net (what, with all the competition)! |

We should all aspire to die surrounded by our dearest friends. Just like Julius Caesar. "The Lord Universe said: 'The same fate I have given to all things from stones to stars, that one day they shall become naught but memories aloft upon the winds of time. From dust all was born, and to dust all shall return.' He then looked upon His greatest creation, life, and pitied them, for unlike stars and stones they would soon learn of this fate and despair in the futility of their own existence. And so the Lord Universe decided to give life two gifts to save them from this despair. The first of these gifts was the soul, that life might more readily accept their fate, and the second was fear, that they might in time learn to avoid it altogether." - Excerpt from a Chanagwan creation myth, Legends and Folklore of the Planet Ghar, collected and published by Yieju Bai'an, explorer from the Celestial Commonwealth of Qonming Tree That Owns Itself

This is the 60,031 post!
I've noticed that too. Members join, login once, and never appear again. It's starting to really bug me. |

Yeah, I asked one of my friends to join, and he did. But he never posted. ![]() Anyway, WHOOOOTT! What a way to celebrate me not leaving! And the best part is, I know Parasky's not pulling a prank on us. |

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." | |

I wish I could give the public a true picture of the queen as she appeared at her best, but this would be impossible, even had she permitted a photograph to be taken, for her charming play of expression while in conversation, the character and intellect which were then revealed, were only half seen when the face was in repose. -Lilias Underwood when speaking of Empress Myeongseong "I was born in the dark. I went out into the light, and your Majesty, it is my displeasure to inform you that I have returned to the dark. I envision a Seoul of towering buildings filled with Western establishments that will place herself back above the Japanese barbarians. Great things lie ahead for the Kingdom, great things. We must take action, your Majesty, without hesitation, to further modernize this still ancient kingdom."-Min Young-ik to Empress Myeongseong | |

But blogs are not forums, on blogs only 1 person can post and others comment. If it is a website most don't even allow comments. So I think we are the biggest community of speculative biologists. TFIW and others just have fans, not members. |

A programme that brought future evolution to the world, you can see the site at thefutureiswild.com. |

They are probably going to make The Future Gets Wilder, and TFIW has inspired a film. Probably going to only watch TFGW, but maybe not as it'll focus a lot more on plant life. And plants are boring for a future life documentary, even carnivorous plants. |

It gives... one view. Not one that everyone will agree with, but it tries to be plausible. OMG LAND CEPHALOPODS! Do you know when TFGW is set? |

Al it says that it'll focus on 3 more time zones and give a bigger focus on plant life. |
