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.

Well the ones the settled near were rough enough, slaughtered a third of the settlers three years after they arrived.

Thanksgiving, nah we dont have that in Australia, we don't have much to be thankful for, our nation's history is the worst criminals of the british empire were dumped here, then they raped and massacared the Aborigines and managed to end up controlling an entire continent.

Ahhhhh, Australia.......

Although most of the people who moved to Australia were Upper Class, but never mind.

Don't forget the quite incredible racism of the 19th and 20th that almost ruined the Anglo-Japanese Alliance and how Australia destroyed the Racial equality proposal during the Paris Peace Conference of 1919, despite everyone involved voting for it or abstaining which helped set Japan down the road of isolationism and nationalism.

Not every path the early U.S. can take will lead it back to mommy Scotland and daddy England.

Don't forget Uncle Wales!

So, what generally happens on Thanksgiving? Any special rituals, besides turkey dinner?

Happy Indigenous American Genocide day!

I'm sorry, that was my inner leftist speaking

Also, I did not know the Canucks celebrated it to
My sporadically updated Youtube page

Do you get it? I hardly ever come here so I'm like something a cryptozoologist would study

Well it celebrates an event in early English America. Plus, who turns down an excuse for gluttony?

Don't forget about Punkin Chunkin.
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

Get together with family, eat turkey (and often ham as well), mashed potatoes, dressing/stuffing, yams, cranberries (though I usually pass on the last two). Some families will go outside and play American football, while others will just watch it on TV. Those who wish to apply the holiday's name will actually contemplate or even discuss what they're thankful for.

This year I actually took some time to do some speccing, though I have a mountain of homework that I should be working on. ;)
