| 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!

Somewhere, in some time... Not too far from where you live.. On the side of that one road that you travel on every day.. Lies the ditch. It might seem unassuming (and indeed it really is quite bland), but what lies inside it are lifeforms unlike any on earth. Separated from the rest of the world since a really long time ago, the ditch harbors very creepy and crawly creatures and pumpkin things that would scare the pants off of even an adult human. This is no ordinary ditch. No. This is. The Ditch |

Projects and concepts that I have stewing around Extended Pleistocene- An alternate future where man died out, and the megafauna would continue to thrive (may or may not include a bit about certain future sapients) Inverted World- An alternate timeline where an asteroid hit during the Barremian, causing an extinction event before the Maastrichtian. Dinosaurs, pterosaurs, and notosuchians make it to the present, along with a host of other animals. Badania- Alien planet that has life at a devonian stage of development, except it exists in the present day. Ido- Alien world where hoppers (derived flightless ballonts) and mouthpart-legged beasts are prevalent. Leto- Life on a moon orbiting a gas giant with an erratic orbit; experiences extremes of hot and cold. The Park- ??? Deeper Impact- a world where the K-Pg extinction wipes out crocodilians, mammals, and birds; squamates, choristoderes, and turtles inherit the earth. World of Equal Opportunity- alternate history where denisovans come across Beringia and interact with native fauna. Much of the Pleistocene fauna survives, and the modern humans that end up crossing into North America do not overhunt the existing animals. 10,000 years later, civilizations exist that are on par with European and Asian societies. The Ditch- Nothing is what if seems.. | |

If there are sharks in the ditch, are there tornados in the ditch? Are there sharknados in the ditch? What effects do the sharknados have on the DINOSUARS and the pterrordactylosaurs? |

What do you do with the ditch? Do you eat it or sit on it? |

I heard rumors that Papa-franku is the top ramen-a-vore in the ditch. Are thees rumors tru? I also believe that the the majestic Papa-franku breeds asexually by masturbating to the sounds of pigeon screams that fall into the ditch, and there is a one in a bujillion chance of if's offspring becoming a queen Ghidora!11!!1one |
