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.

Browsing through old topics the other day, I found an image of Earth as depicted in the bible, posted by JohnFaa a while back. This gave me the idea for an alternative universe based on the world as described in the Bible. So it would be like this:

Posted Image

That would give loads of things to investigate, with lots of areas. There's Earth, the Underworld, the foundations, the immense seas above and below the firmament, the divine dwelling, and the heaven of the heavens.
Earth would be very much like our normal planet, but with a different variety of life, and the Underworld would be a massive cavern dimly lit by bioluminescent organisms. The foundations jutting on the edges of Earth could be a very remote and dangerous place to live, splashed by the waves, and covered in hardy seaweed. The waters below the foundations of the Earth could be an immense abyss inhabited by leviathans, and above the firmaments, the waters near the Divine Dwelling could be vibrant, life-filled reefs. Meanwhile, the Divine Dwelling could be an immense structure made from an alien material, and above that, there would be the heaven of heavens (or I might just call it heaven), which could have aerial ecosystems of flying plankton, etc.
I would imagine that much of these structures would be built by some mysterious, long extinct alien race.
When you think about it, the whole thing messes with your head. The firmament has the stars, the sun, and the moon it, but above that there's a sea, then the Divine Dwelling, then the heaven of heavens, and then . . . another firmament? By the sounds of it, there's another atmosphere above the firmament with the stars, etc, in.

Anyway, I think that this would make an interesting project.

Edit: I'd like to note that I wouldn't be doing this project anytime soon.
Would you be interested in any help with this prject?

Has there ever been a project speculating future life on an Ice-Free Greenland before? A lot of people go for Antarctica being ice-free but I don't think anyone's done Greenland yet to my knowledge
Doubt you could get much. Greenland's been wiped clean of ice on and off since the Permian-Triassic with only brief reprieve, unlike Antarctica which was ice free for most of its history. Non endemic terrestrial macro fauna. If you were to U thaw it a couple dozen million years ago opportunity for speciation is still fairly limited.

I was thinking of doing a project about inteligent dinosaurs. But I'm not that sure if I should do it because it's been done multiple times before and people won't really like it that much.

If you do it uniquely, like make the dinosaurs practically unchanged or make large mammals common, or make some dinosaur survive the extinction and compete with mammals etcetera.

I was thinking of doing something like the new dinosaurs by double Dixon. But I would add my own dinosaur descendants.

So... doing your own version of The New Dinosaurs? That'd be pretty cool to see. I might want to help with that as well.

You would probably have to make half of those coelurosaurs in the book Unenlagiines or Troodontids, for things like the Dip and the Cutlasstooth.

A open collab about Post-Humans. I'll get that started up, and any one can suggest their ideas.

This isn't a spec project but I have no where else to share this. I just thought it was a neat idea.

21st Century History for Cambridge IGCSE®

21st Century History for Cambridge IGCSE is a fully comprehensive look at the major events in 21st century, it contains a total of fourteen subtopics, seven core topics and seven in depth studies. This is the perfect companion for anyone studying IGCSE History. Take a look at the effects of the War on Terror, the collapse of communism, the dawn of extraterrestrial colonization, and the changes that climate change had on the international politics of the planet.

A alternate timeline where eurypterids develop a closed circulatory system in the Silurian period, causing amphibians to arrive on land to a very different Devonian.

If I do end up doing it, then yes, I could do with some advice, if that is what you meant. If you meant a collab or something like that, then probably the answer would be no.

I can give advice, since years of misotheism gave me a good grasp in hebrew mythologies.

I do not want to sound rude or aggressive, but could you guys relax with the collaborative projects?
So far there are about 4 around (2 for paleo-spec, 1 for Saessy and other for AGmantheAG) all of which have appeared this week and there isn't advanced more than a few conversations that have little to do with those topics. Of course you guys are free to do whatever topic you want (of course, don't spam the forum) but simply doing project after project, only are going to saturate with them that finally you will end up abandoning for not giving the necessary attention.





Projects

"Active" projects

The Future is Far
Welcome to the next chapters of the evolution of life on earth, travel the across the earth on a journey that goes beyond the limits, a billion years of future history in the making.

The SE giants project
Wonder what is the big of the big on speculative evolution? no problem, here is the answer

Coming one day
Age of Mankind
Humanity fate and its possible finals.

The Long Cosmic Journey
The history outside our world.

The alternative paths
The multiverse, the final frontier...

Holocene park: Welcome to the biggest adventure of the last 215 million years, where the age of mammals comes to life again!
Cambrian mars: An interesting experiment on an unprecedented scale, the life of a particular and important period in the history of our planet, the cambric life, has been transported to a terraformed and habitable mars in an alternative past.
Two different paths, two different worlds, but same life and same weirdness.
