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.

I've been bitten by alot of things, but the only thing I've been bitten by that made bleed was a bite on the nose by a wild iguana while on vacation.

As for zombies, on my island I have plenty of the perfect anti-zombie weapon. Even in the highly unlikely event that some zombies do come ashore, there are plenty of head-crushing rocks and head-piercing spears to be used over and over again. If that doesn't work, a little fire will show'em whose boss.

Why does everyone think they have to kill zombies by destroying the brain?

Because in most zombie movies if the brain is removed from the body the zombie dies. The most effective method against zombies though is fire. Just set them on fire and watch them amble about while slowly being turned to cinders.

No. That's the absolute WORST way to kill a zombie. Humans don't burn well, as we are mostly water. Zombies are essentially the same way. They still retain that water. Zombies are pain resistant flesh eaters that will stop at nothing to eat you. Light one up, and you've got a pain resistant flesh eater on FIRE. And they burn slowly.

L'évolution Spéculative est moi

I don't think aliens would conquer for slave labor or genocide, it wouldn't make sense. Regardless of how advanced your species is, civilizations must have some form of economy, and conquering a planet is an expensive thing to do. If alien invaders ever did come, it would likely be for symbolic conquest; they conquered us because that's what they do. Oppressing an entirely different species that lives light-years away wouldn't be economically or practically reasonable. You can't station and indefinite occupation of an entire planet, and you certainly can't expect to just kill all the inhabitants without causing significant damage to the entire planet (and what's the point in conquering something if you make it uninhabitable or too big of a mess to clean up?). They would likely just say that they ruled us now and then leave us alone to do our own thing. We might have to put up with them colonizing parts of the solar system, or asking permission to colonize another celestial body in our own star system, but it wouldn't be tyrannical. The worst they might do is conscript a few million of us and force our industry to produce technology for their use (though they couldn't make all of it do so, since we have to still be able to sustain ourselves), but considering our situation that wouldn't be too bad.

EDIT: Also welcome, welcome to City 17.

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

Left 4 Dead situation: I either wind up immune or I become a new class of zombie, The Crocodile.

The Crocodile: A horrid zombie that resembles a crocodile, both in behaviour and looks. Will often be hidden until the victim gets close. Then it strikes and crushes their bones, making it very deadly.

No, I'll just bring Ellis with me. Plus, there are signs up everywhere that warn you not to swim with the 'gators.

I said "The Crocodile", not "The Gator". And I said that it will be hidden, I never said water. It could hide in debris.
