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.

Is it just me, or does SPLICE seem like a movie based on Impossible Creatures?

That kind of genre has been running around for a while now.
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.

Are you plausible?

I could participate, if I had the time...
Take a look at my exobiology subforum of the planet Nereus!

District 9 was pretty good :P

Hey Parasky, seeing as it seems that NOONE on here can actually enter this deviant art competition, why don't we just have our own one?
Just an idea :)
Because the producers aren't paying us to promote their film. Besides, the only way I would do so is through the COM, and I have to say that Fakey's idea is more interesting than fictional genetic splicing. I figured that a community like this might be interested in seeing what some of these artists come up with. I hope that Zippo4K and IRIRIV do something.
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

How many COMs from the list are left though?
