| 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!

What kind of documentaries do you watch, guys? I, myself enjoy walking with dinosaurs, walking with beasts, the blue planet, and planet earth. Discuss. |

Projects and concepts that I have stewing around Extended Pleistocene- An alternate future where man died out, and the megafauna would continue to thrive (may or may not include a bit about certain future sapients) Inverted World- An alternate timeline where an asteroid hit during the Barremian, causing an extinction event before the Maastrichtian. Dinosaurs, pterosaurs, and notosuchians make it to the present, along with a host of other animals. Badania- Alien planet that has life at a devonian stage of development, except it exists in the present day. Ido- Alien world where hoppers (derived flightless ballonts) and mouthpart-legged beasts are prevalent. Leto- Life on a moon orbiting a gas giant with an erratic orbit; experiences extremes of hot and cold. The Park- ??? Deeper Impact- a world where the K-Pg extinction wipes out crocodilians, mammals, and birds; squamates, choristoderes, and turtles inherit the earth. World of Equal Opportunity- alternate history where denisovans come across Beringia and interact with native fauna. Much of the Pleistocene fauna survives, and the modern humans that end up crossing into North America do not overhunt the existing animals. 10,000 years later, civilizations exist that are on par with European and Asian societies. The Ditch- Nothing is what if seems.. | |

Currently I'm enjoying Edwardian Farm and The Bear Family and Me. I also yesterday saw a very interesting documentary about Greenland Sharks and how they hunt seals. And as always, I'm going to pimp Inside Nature's Giants, because dissecting megafauna is probably the best thing I've seen in a long while on TV. Much better use of Channel 4's time than Big Brother. http://www.channel4.com/programmes/inside-natures-giants |

All the terrestrial channels have their moments. Aside from ITV of course. They have Primeval and used to have Steve Irwin. Does Mythbusters count as a documentary? |

In my opinion, no. I think its just some guys doing waky jizz, all the while trying to prove if myths are real. But thats just my opinion. |

They do proper science as well, compared to some other copycats they are very thorough. |
