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.

The one before that was set in Portugal! Hence JohnFaa's approval no doubt?


Well, I do like the recognition of the Lourinhã fossil formation and of my country, although I'm a little sad that the Rhamphorhynchus is a retarded abomination that is most certainly a rape child of Tweety and a lizard, instead of the petrel like nocturnal pterosaur that it was.

I also didn't like how they focused mostly on the genera that also occur in North America, like the Allosaurus and the Torvosaurus, with the 100% native Dinheirosaurus being the only exclusively portuguese taxa to have an important role. I did like the appearences of the Miragaia and Lusotitan as well as the Draconyx cameo though.

Planet Dinosaur Drinking game

Take a shot when:
The word 'killer' or any derivative thereof is mentioned
The word 'hunter' or any derivative thereof is mentioned
John Hurt mispronounces a dinosaur name
The explanation/science spot appears
Any time a predator fails to catch its prey
Any time a predator gets beaten up by a herbivore
Any time Gigantoraptor, Hatzegopteryx or any other particularly gangly creature kicks arse
Any time they use sketchy or even disproved science

I really hope this series comes to BBC America soon. It was good that they featured some lesser known dinosaurs too (showing Chasmosaurus in place of Triceratops was a nice surprise).

I've seen PD and I think it's pretty good and, by the way, when you say disproved science you mean about Sinornithosaurus being poisonous?

L'évolution Spéculative est moi

So I've never seen Planet Dinosaur, and I haven't been streaming lately. I've recently... Acquired all six episodes. Would anyone be interested in watching a stream of the series?
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
