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.

L'évolution Spéculative est moi

I'm watching this movie right now on TV, and I have to say; HAHAHAHAHA! USAF research station around Saturn in 2029! These poor saps just had no idea, man. No idea what the future was really like.
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

I did watch the movie (via "alternative" means) was full of holes as to plausibility for me.

And the close ups of the chimp faces looked EXACTLY like fucking Gollum from LOTR!

I don't watch LOTR because I'm not a nerd with too much time on his hands. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm off to watch the entire fourth season of Doctor Who in two afternoons.

I loved the movie and don't get the hostility but it should have been set much later in the 21st century for sure
