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! Registration is free and instantaneous.

What the future WILL look like? What are these guys? Time travellers?

Oh, and the idea of nine billion people makes me want to puke.

I want 3 bil to be when we're maxed out.

Not our limit, just the amount that we tend to max out at, I desperately hope for some population thinning, either through lower the numbers or preferably spreading off world...

I view this site with tongue-in-cheek. Posted it mostly because it might give someone here an idea.

Here is a tidbit of real stuff

NnnnnoooooooOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooo!

Yeah, but what I'm saying is that it'd be totally cool if half our population jumped over to Mars or something... I dunno...

Did a look-see, that's the closest I can find to Alternate Universe News

Quote:
 
2175-2186 - Ensign Alexander B. Jones of the HMS Draco, Terrestrial Interstellar Survey Service, crash lands on the planet Toka, home planet of the Hokas (the events of Earthman's Burden, as told by Poul Anderson & Gordon R. Dickson). The TISS is an Earth fleet ship, unconnected to the newly created UFP Starfleet. Since Toka was contacted by Earth ships before the incorporation of the UFP, the Prime Directive of non-interference does not apply to Toka. Therefore, upon re-establishing contact with Earth, Ensign Jones is attached to the Interbeing League, a branch of the UFP specifically established to deal with civilizations and cultures which were subject to pre-Prime Directive contact with humanity. At the conclusion of these events, the Hokas are petitioning for the right to travel off planet; hence, their appearance in a Starbase bar approximately 100 years later (see Ishmael).
