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.

Our world is a world. It is Earth, a planet in space, the third planet in our solar system, the planet where living things live, the planet with people on it.



But what if it wasn’t?



What if our world wasn’t a world. What if it wasn’t a planet. What if it wasn’t the third. What if it wasn’t where things are alive. What if people weren’t.



What if Earth without Earth?

I'm sorry but in what alternative universe would thousands of zebras be sent back in time by some sort of illegal time travel group to change history and preparing them by making gigantic working animatronic allosaurs?

To be honest I feel like there's an in-joke I'm not getting here, but nonetheless I'm enjoying this. You're taking the concept of alternate geological history to its farthest limits.

So that's how this confusingly amazing project(?) started.

I've just realized the diagram is highly inaccurate. It shows a great dane with half a great dane in front of it!

I too am disapointed. I started to love it. What would we do without earth without earth if earth without earth would never be continued :(.

Are you implying this isn't just the usual wait for an EWE update?
