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.

Remember yourselves of my Polynesian project?

Do you think it will draw someone's ire if I use the word Mana? Because its cliché in fantasy but I want to refference the polynesian origins of the word.

Same applies to wiki.

Are you plausible?

Why would it raise someone's ire? If someone feels that a word has only fantastic application and has no relevance in a scientific setting then they don't understand the nature of language.
Take a look at my exobiology subforum of the planet Nereus!

Indeed. And at least I have the context on my side.
