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.

This is a mini-project I had in mind for some time. I've been looking through the book, the 'New Dinosaurs; an alternative evolution', by our infamous Dougal Dixon. People have often criticized it for lacking plausibility, and I have to agree (seriously, snake dinosaurs are just....) but if I change around the world a bit, add new creatures for biodiversity, make adjustments, with new names, descriptions, ancestors and recreate the original creations, I think it could be pretty cool (I think). So don't blame me if I do have some cliche stuff.

I'll be posting some essays (if you can call them essays) on the fauna soon.

Dixon is very rethinkable
I do art sometimes.

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.
