| 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!

Let's hope the first shot won't be fired. |

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.. | |

Canis, we have to change Pokemon to make them realistic. Saying that we already have a plan built out for us is saying that future evo has a plan and we just come up with random things to put it in a timeline. Same with alt evo. |

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. ❤️❤️~I'm not a boy~❤️❤️ | |

Dinosaurs eat man, woman inherits the Earth.

Actually, future evologists just extrapolate on current species and alternate evologists extrapolate on extinct species. Pokemon-made-realists just make minor tweaks that still remain very very very close to the original Pokemon. |

We should all aspire to die surrounded by our dearest friends. Just like Julius Caesar. "The Lord Universe said: 'The same fate I have given to all things from stones to stars, that one day they shall become naught but memories aloft upon the winds of time. From dust all was born, and to dust all shall return.' He then looked upon His greatest creation, life, and pitied them, for unlike stars and stones they would soon learn of this fate and despair in the futility of their own existence. And so the Lord Universe decided to give life two gifts to save them from this despair. The first of these gifts was the soul, that life might more readily accept their fate, and the second was fear, that they might in time learn to avoid it altogether." - Excerpt from a Chanagwan creation myth, Legends and Folklore of the Planet Ghar, collected and published by Yieju Bai'an, explorer from the Celestial Commonwealth of Qonming Tree That Owns Itself

Remain close? Hah! do you know how far from the truth that statement is? Some Pokemon, like Tauros, Miltank, and a lot of the Normal-types are going to be close to the original material with minors tweaks because the original material was already possible for life. So are things like Remoraid, Torchic, Feebass, and Magikarp are going to stay close to the original material? HELL NAW GIRATINA. Remoraid becomes and octopus, Feebass, Magikarp, Milotic, and Gyarados all become the same species, and Torchic isn't some chicken anymore. It's a freakin' raptor*. *Like a Velociraptor, not a bird of prey. I've strayed so far from the source material on Pokemon like Eggxector it's not funny. Edited by Kamidio, Feb 21 2011, 11:30 PM.

Im just going to say that, as far as im concerned, spec evo means, oddly enough, speculating about evolutionary possibilities past or future. thats my two cents. |

Guys, Speculative Evolution is just the name of the site. All speculative biology is welcome here. |

You came in a tad too late. Take cover! By the way, I dislike pokemon (due to the TV show and endless poke rants from my brother) but I don't see wats wrong with speccing about it, indeed, I approve of it. |

"You shall perish, whatever you do! If you are taken with arms in your hands, death! If you beg for mercy, death! Whichever way you turn, right, left, back, forward, up, down, death! You are not merely outside the law, you are outside humanity. Neither age nor sex shall save you and yours. You shall die, but first you shall taste the agony of your wife, your sister, your sons and daughters, even those in the cradle! Before your eyes the wounded man shall be taken out of the ambulance and hacked with bayonets or knocked down with the butt end of a rifle. He shall be dragged living by his broken leg or bleeding arm and flung like a suffering, groaning bundle of refuse into the gutter. Death! Death! Death!" | |

That's what I do. Take Charizard for example. It's said to be a lizard, but I make it a crocodilian. And Gastly is a kitten. Admantus, no one watches the show anymore. Read the manga. you'll get a nice blood-chilling murder almost every volume. |

Now can we all just shut up and stop arguing or bitching about how hard it is. Im not going to start bitching about how hard it is to turn mythical creatures into plausible animals in a highly alternate world... who gives a flying fuck! You people are falling on deaf ears your better off trying to train your fish to fly a lockheed blackbird. Please keep your all equally retarded opinions to yourselves and shut up! This was meant to be a notice to show that we are all tired of memes not an argument. Lets just end it........ HERE |
