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.

I don't consider throwing sticks clubs.
Why use a club anyway? Crowbars can bash a skull in easily and are crowbars.

Because a crowbar is a lot more awkward to wield.

Maori warriors are club wielders, great big long things, thin one end, fat the other end (the clobbering end)

That tends to be what makes a club, Magoo.

A club would be slightly better for the unskilled but most clubs are meant not to kill.
Oh are they? Aztec clubs! :P
Anyway, those before swords and axes used clubs to kill prey and that.
Your forgetting that those clubs were more saw than club, obsidian is an odd weapon. And most clubs aren't meant to kill and even the ones meant to have trouble doing in one hit.

Clubs were never used on the hunt as a main weapon, that's suicide or to heavy.
On the contrary, i thought of adding a footnote about the sword-ness.

Clubs are also used to subdue animals in trapped, and on farm animals.
Pretty lethal.

Speaking of which- that bolt thing they use in abattoirs!
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.

Well what if you guys turned into one of the zombies from Left 4 Dead? I'd probably wind up a Hunter.

We're moving off my point; a sword is better if you know how to use a sword.

I used extra words to refine my point; I didn't say clubs weren't used to fight, I didn't say clubs weren't used to finish off animals, and I most certainly did not say no clubs were meant to kill.

So no one has any comments as to what strain of the Green Flu they might catch?

Unless you comment on the Green Flu scenario, you're all commies.
