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.

I like "Jurassic Park" seeing as it was accurate until Science Marched On.

Apologies if my earlier posts in this thread appeared racist. I guess they were somewhat inflammatory and reactionary.

There are some topics with are too hot to touch - and I will attempt to avoid such in the future.

e.g. I think Holocaust Deniers are raving loonies - however, if anyone questions any of the accepted dogma of the Holocaust (like one NZ academic) they're labelled anti-semites and driven out of academia - so I know to stick clear of that quagmire.

My favourite history authors are currently Barbara L. Tuchman, and Antony Beevor.

By "popular" authors, I meant writers who write entertaining prose VS academics compiling science papers into massive volumes.

I'm hoping to get Lettow-Vorbeck's book "My Reminiscences of East Africa" some time soon about his African campaign.
