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.

Great Britain is now one giant island that gets separated from its continental plate allowing it to drift.

A bunch of years later Great Britain arrives at eastern Canada. Then they claim the land as theirs.

All the continents have been discovered in the 1300s. although humans are still in the same ages.

and WW1 is now in the 1600s


Here's a time line:

1385 - Great Britain is set a drift
1472 - Great Britain reaches Eastern Canada
1512 - Great Britain attacks Canada
1515 - Great Britain Conquers Canada and it becomes part of Great Britain
1517 - New Great Britain declares war against USA
1525 - USA truces with Spain and Mexico
1526 - Columbia takes over the Caribbean and all the countries up to Mexico
1526 - Brazil and Portugal truce with Columbia and take control over all the other South American countries
1526 - The Argentinians flee to Antarctica.
1528 - Indonesia, Australia and New Zealand form an alliance
1528 - Russia, Kazakhstan and Mongolia truce
1529 - Afghanistan and Iran ally
1530 - India attacks Pakistan
1530 - Iceland, Greenland and Norway join Argentina
1531 - Greece and Italy truce
1531 - France and Germany truce





thats as far as i have gotten so far.



help is needed. thanks.

In 1385 there is no such thing as Great Britain. Great Britain was created when the Kingdom of England and Scotland joined. Second of all, with the British isles moving to Canada in 1385, how can there still be a US? Butterflies dont allow it. Also how are all the continents suddenly discovered? Just because the British Isles move east doesnt mean technology suddenly jumps centuries. Im sorry but this wont work.

How can an island go across the Atlantic in 100 YEARS???

WW1 was started because of an assassination. It wouldn't be the same war.

Does this really belong in Alternative Evolution? I don't see any evolution in it.

I think he means that a 1st world war happened in 1600, maybe not exactly the same as ours in OTL but maybe similar, its just called that i guess to signify that there will be other world wars :D

I guess it's more alternative humanity, then.

I saw this on DA, but 100 years is stretching it as Pando said. It would take about 70 million.

WW1 was started by multiple factors, led by diferent things. It couldn't be the same, it is an alt-WW.

Flee to antarctica? :huh?:

And where did the USA come from? Natives?
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.

Wouldnt people from a tropic climate freeze the death in a place like Anartica? Unless if they rapidly became like Inuits...

The point is that Great Britain didnt exist at the time. This is not alternate history nor is it alternate evolution. Alternate history is based on History, this has none of it. In 1385 there was no Great Britain, and with a POD(Point of Departure) at 1385 a US is out of the question due to butterflies. Look, even if the island did move in a 100 years(highly imposible) none of this would work.
