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.

Well, at least the european gryphon vultures will survive. And the africans and indians will wish they weren't stupid once plagues settle in.

I think the Indians will stop doing it. They know from experiences when you kill off vultures. They've done a lot of it already. Ended up with leopards everywhere. Vultures die->dogs and rats take the niche->rabies increases, as well as other diseases->leopards attack dogs and kill some kids as well

Being uninformed always equals cruelty, and it is even more lethal when prejudice, stereotyping and selfishness accompanies it.....

Muslims clearly hate them, so for them it would just be a good way of getting rid of competition.

That is so racist, but funny. I lol'd.
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..

Well I do to. Maybe more so than you. Now, let's not start a flame war.

On one more note, Muslim is both a race and a religion.

In India, there are zoroastrians too.

Only an imbecile who does not know what Islam is thinks it is a race. It is a religion that accepts everyone into it, be black, white or arabian; only arabian idiots and PC idiots think it is a race.

Thinking better about it, "idiot" is too soft a term to designate people who think Islam is a race, but I'm going to get banned for this anyway.
