| 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!

we speak about an earth in 750000000 first, conditions will change: -sun will be 7.5% larger, brighter and hoter -the day will probably will have lenght of 31 hours -the ocenas will be slowly vaporising Edited by janlor, Apr 2 2010, 02:38 PM.

How did you get 300 million? I estimate 500-1 billion years left, the sun has 6 billion years left. |

i saw documentary on that. the sun gets hotter everyday it will eventually implode. But it is a 100% that there will e no life before the sun impoding because the temerature will be like millions of degrees. |

The oceans will have fully vapourised within 2 billion years, and the solar radiation will render the earth unihabitable in about 4. The sun will make its two expansions around 6 billion years hence, but neither will consume the earth due to its outward swing. Life still has aboiut a billion years left, as completely different forms. There won't be squids or rats, and probably not life as we know it. |

no, extinction of animals will take in about 800000000 ant will be after extinctioin of plants

How would life live AFTER plants? Do they eat fungi??? Just think about how unpredictable it is for 700,000,000! You can barely predict 200,000,000! And why do you want squids so much??? |

All life as we know it today will be extinct...no squids,octopus,insects,rats.....there will be something new |

eating bacteria and protista, also the extintion of animals will be caused by extinction of animals will be caused by extinction of plants

But those are tiny single cell organisms! The base of the ecosystem needs something that can protosynthesise, which are either plants, algae, or plankton (algae and plankton can only exist in water). Without plants all life on land is dead. |

They can have symbiotic relationships with the microbes, think deep sea vent tubeworms and algal symbiotic flatworms. or they could become photosynthetic themselves like that crazy slug. Not that I think plants would go extinct before animals, they have a tendency to be pretty hardy and if the change is gradual they would be able to handle it, I'm thinking scale plants and insanity succulents. Also consider lichens, they are not plants, they are fungi that have a symbiotic relationship with algal scum and may be able to partially replace plants if given the chance. I think life is tougher than we give it credit for, it probably will survive to the very end of the Earth, at least in a single cell form... Multicellular life would probably exist for a lot longer than we expect as well, macroscopic not so sure about but I think there's a chance that it can exist longer too... especially if humanity keeps chugging on, in 200 million years I think we could probably get the tech to mess with stars easily. I doubt that all life as we know it would go extinct either, the body styles for animals have already been set, chordates will be chordates (no rats though, rat-like critters are likely though), insects will be insects (hell cockroaches will probably exist forever), if the cephalopods do survive I would consider it odd and surprising, the octopi seem the most likely ones due to their "adaptability" even though they are so sensitive to water changes. If the mollusks survive at all I would consider it odd, out of all the mollusks I would think either land snails or some kind of clam would live. the bases of ecosystems don't need things that photosynthesize, they just need stuff that make energy molecules like sugar or oil or alcohol. |

Maybe the photosynthesizing slug is the future of animal life on Earth. The "zooplantae" of Avatar, of sorts. And if cephalopods do survive (they existed since the cambrian) then all cephalopods we know of will not exist. The ammonoids once were all the cephalopods, now there are only 4 or 6 species. The ammonoids were the dominant cephalopods of the mesozoic, they're extinct now. The coeloids lived since the Devonian or Carboniferous, they'll die out in an extinction in the future. Maybe the coeloids will leave a new descendant, or maybe the cephalopod line ends with them. |
