| 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.

We're talking about zombies created from disease, so they don't rot, they are just ugly. Like the zombies in Left 4 Dead. |

The zombies in Left 4 Dead, exist to spread the disease, and they act like wild animals. |

Unless they come at you in a large mob, shambling and bent of eating you like a haggis. And of course, if we go by large populations centers, there's a chance of a large horde of zombies are shambling around, literally pouring out of schools, hospitals, churches, malls and pretty much every place where lots of idiots think they're safe. As for me, depends on what kind of end-of-the-world scenario we talk about: -Slow zombies a la Romero: I live in a cul de sac surrounded by 7' tall brick walls (with chainlink fence on top), and the street's main gate can be easily blocked by a couple of vans, so, in that aspect, i'm kinda protected. I live outside Mexico City, in a suburban community where most of the people travel towards Mexico City to work during the day, so, if the zombie sh*t hits the fan during the morning or noon, i'll simply go to stock myself, probably grab my girlfriend, and kick major ass with homemade weapons until zombies overwhelm the areas surrounding my house. Now, being probably the only dude in my street who knows the mechanics of a zombie film, i'll end up killing idiots who try to be heroes, those with psychological breakdowns (because, let's admit it, how many people will simply end up going bananas after hearing the infamous "THE DEAD WALK" line? or after a zombie pops outside the window?) So, basically, keep yourself safe, and rule with an iron fist. And remember, never, never, never set a zombie on fire. They just keep walking and turn into living torches... WWZ and the other Max Brooks' book explain the mechanics of how a flaming zombie probably ends up causing a lot of damage. Just imagine setting on fire a shambling corpse, but it keeps walking straight into a wooden house, a cornfield or a forestal area. Whoosh, forest fire. -Quick, berserk, f*cked up zombies a la L4D or 28 Days Later: DIE. HORRIBLY. Unless they can't climb walls or jump very high. In that case, kick major ass like in situation 1. -Zombie animals: DIE. Probably shooting myself. The whole idea of zombie dogs or cats freaks me out. Or... are we talking about an specific type of zombie? |

It's actually the Green Flu, which is some sort of disease that has take over. I can fill you in, being the giant L4D nerd that I am. |

The best bet for a zombie apocalypse is to stay far far away from civilization on smaller islands in lakes. No zombie will reach me on my island. I have food so I don't need to leave often, and I have plenty of places to mount an attack from people trying to steal my food. The island I have in mind isn't big enough to support enough animals and plants to support more than 1 person. If survivors want in, I won't be so forgiving to those who could threaten my survival.

What about a Jurassic Park scenario? How are you going to survive that Toad? |

Stay indoors as much as possible. There is no way in hell an dinosaurs are opening doors, and the only alternitive is to break a wall down. The dinosaurs should still be near their enclosures. If you need to restore power, the 'power room' should be near any group of buildings. Stay inside, stay away from dinosaurs. |

I'll hide in a cave and make plenty of spears with spikes at the entrance. I will make them face outwards to repel dinosaurs that try to come inside. I'll have a secret path in them for me to squeeze through so I don't get trapped in them while escaping the dinos. Here's something that could be a challenge for survival. Invading survivors. They aren't as stupid as zombies and they can solve traps. They also can use weapons too. Even if they weren't openly trying to invade your hideout, they could pose as struggling survivors in order to kill you and take your resources. Would you be tempted to let a few survivors in your cave or hideout and risk being murdered for your supplies? Honestly, I wouldn't let survivors in. The risk of attack is too high and even if they really weren't trying to invade my island cave or Jurassic Park cave, there wouldn't be enough resources in the area to feed a group of survivors.

I'm not sure a cave would be the best hideout. You'd have plenty of tinier dinosaurs sneaking in. Compys would get past sticks pretty easy. |

My Apocalypse survival plan is to hide in a closet and hope that everything will sort itself out. Seriously though, for the zombie scenario I would get to an area almost devoid of human life. In Australia that shouldn't be hard to find, surviving there is the real problem. For the world in anarchy scenario I would watch the groups of survivors, then become a part of the most powerful one where I would most likely survive. For the Jurassic Park I would stay indoors, they're not really smart so they won't be opening doors. If their already in hide in a closet or something. |
