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.

pretend this says something funny

Approximately 242 million years ago, a piece of land broke off from what will one day be Eastern Africa. At the time, this land was a hot, tropical world along the coast of the mighty Tethys Sea, rich with life repopulating the planet after the recent end of the Palaeozoic. As it broke it brought with it many of these creatures, becoming a life raft of continental proportions, preserving them as their kind became extinct elsewhere. For millions of years, this land harboured life forgotten to the world. As time progressed its collection grew; land bridges came and went, and countless organisms throughout the eras rafted, swam, hitchhiked and flew to this isolated world, continuously adding to the bizarre menagerie of creatures that populated it.

A lush, warm and varying habitat, this landmass was the perfect environment for life to diversify and evolve; animals and plants long lost to history elsewhere thrived in abundance in this haven. Hundreds if not thousands of unique species called this world home, ranging from tiny worms writhing through the forest soil to massive reptilian behemoths trudging in herds of dozens across its lowlands, and innumerable creatures of every form in between. Thousands of millennia have allowed these organisms to adapt to a world long changed, and take on lifestyles and appearances beyond all belief. Competition among the islands’ flora and fauna have caused the evolution of organisms spectacular and awe inspiring in this hostile paradise.

Eons after they have been forgotten by time, they continue to survive in this world.

A forgotten world.

A lost world.

A bygone world.

Wait, am I looking at this biome map properly? Are there a few cloud forests on Ahi? I can imagine they aren't particularly impressive ones, but it might be the location I've been looking for to house my newest species idea.
totally not British, b-baka!

I don't even really like this song that much but the title is pretty relatable sometimes, I guess.
