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.

Oh that's true. That's why I said "based on them".

I think the most plausible cryptid would have to be sasquatch. But thats a matter of opinion, you could argue otherwise.
Actually, sasquatch has been almost proven, they have a video of it from the fifties that was scanned with high-tech equipment and they found all sorts of things that probably wouldn't have been put into a costume, like: female breasts, scars, disfigured eyes, and it's hips moved in a way that is impossible for human hips to move, and that's way to long ago for it to have been a robot.

Personally, I think it's probably a descendant of neanderthals that were forced to live in the mountains after home erectus took over.

Actually that would be the 60s.

And yes, I agree that has pretty much been verified as not a hoax, but I am saying that sasquatch in general could be argued as not being the most likely cryptid to exist.

Personally, I think that it is most likely to be more akin to Paranthropus when you consider that its face is now believed to be more chimp-like (they did another high definition scan and discovered the lip is much lower on the face just as can be mistaken with a chimpanzee from a distance), it has a sagittal crest like a male gorilla (and Paranthropus), and its feet are human-like; this sets it sort of in between on the evolutionary scale.

I'm not into hominids very much, but I saw a documentary about almas a while ago

I don't really think any of the "mystery hominids" other than Sasquatch and the Bili ape have any true basis.

Me and Tim Morris are probably going to be opening a cryptozoology forum if any of you are interested. I am currently constructing the theme:
