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.

At least filter-feeding sea cucumbers aren't likely to make it onto this list. . .

The Neozoic Redux
Valhalla--Take Three!
The Big One

In the end, the best advice I could give you would be to do your project in a way that feels natural to you, rather than trying to imitate some geek with a laptop in Colorado.

Dinosaurs eat man, woman inherits the Earth.

Yes, viverrids and other small mustilleds are likely as well. But so are small cats, who are as likely if not more likely.

That's why they are cliche and why I will use them in TFOK on numerous occasions.

Yeah, flightless azhdarchids are overdone, although they are cool. Why no flightless dsungapterids?

And Sliv's got neo-mosasaurs in his former project, but come to think of it I never saw anybody do the idea before....

Like in the future is retarded?
I do art sometimes.

"if you want green eat a salad"

Projects:
Amammalia: A strange place where mammals didn't make it and the land is, once again, dominated by archosaurs.

Oceanus: An endless sea dotted with islands, reefs, and black holes. Literally endless, literal black holes.

More paleognaths. The SE worlds are so poor in paleognaths that it seems that people hate them.

So far, only Neocene and Spec officially have paleognaths. I designed few species myself, but I have the honor of making paleognaths diverse on Spec. In fact, I made them pratically immortal; birds akin to rails are almost impossible to kill off, after all.

We are deciding if we should or not have istiodactylids flying around, and everyone including me are in a state of perpetual business, so up-dating should occur more or less in 2012.
