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.

Dinosaurs.. replaced with... fish?

How would that work? :|
A hard mathematical figure provides a sort of enlightenment to one's understanding of an idea that is never matched by mere guesswork.

Wait, What? well, actually I suppose all tetrapods are descended from fish. It would require tetrapods to become extinct though, and would take a heck of a long time, it also depends on which fish goes on land, it couldn't be multiple ones.

Actually, all tetrapods are fish. So you would really just be leaving the dinosaurs alone.

In the end, the best advice I could give you would be to do your project in a way that feels natural to you, rather than trying to imitate some geek with a laptop in Colorado.

I have to agree with my rival. UT keeps trying to replace fish with fish. So, no UT hasn't had a good idea. EVER.

The fish dont evolve into amphibians they stay fish because they have a very succesful body plan.
