| 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!

I am working on this with Dragon Wasp: Aftershock The year is 7500 AD. it has been 5000 years since the extinction of mankind, and newly sapient(well, almost) have risen up from the charred ruins of the post-war cities, ravaged by nukes and bombs so long ago, as well as a whole cast of new and adapted species, such as the canis urbanus, a wolf/coyote whose pelt is matched to blackened city ruins. Mankinds' time is over. the world has been reborn. Aftershock. |

Remember kids, not guns kill people. Natural selection kills people. |

I think, whilst it may or may not be possible for octoPODEs to evolve sapience in the future, it won't happen in the next 5,000 years. How severe is the radiation? I'm not sure, but I'm guessing that after 5,000 years the area is probably safe to inhabit again. As a result, you can guarantee that cities won't exist any longer. In fact, if you look at the recent game, Enslaved; Odyssey to the West, that is the sort of environment you'd probably be looking at. http://img201.imageshack.us/i/33800684.jpg/ |

Dinosaurs eat man, woman inherits the Earth.

Yeah, cities don't survive nearly as long in extreme radiation, even if they weren't hit by the bomb. |

Your best bet for the new sapients in that short of time are the left overs of the old ones. In other words no new ones, just have small(ish) groups of humans chilling out doing people things. |
