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.

Ironically, they don't have assholes. Maybe they just feel really constipated
What I mean is that the Malaware sound like very dumb creatures. I mean, destroying other species just because you think they're better then them? That's just childish and wrong.
They aren't dumb. Not in the slightest. It's just their culture. You wouldn't call christians dumb just for believing an all powerful narcissistic asshole that punishes you for being gay or aetheist. Nor would you call white people dumb for enslaving an entire ethnicity. It's just culture. Terrible terrible culture.



Uuuuuum........ You know white people were not the first or only people to practice slavery, and they didn't enslave the whole black race, either, right? Not to mention the vast majority of white people didn't even own slaves.


That's a very insensitive generalization, and I have half a mind to report you.
Er, what. I know that Europeans weren't the only or first people to practice slavery (in fact slavery is kind of necessary for a larger scale civilizations), and I know it wasn't all black people that were enslaved, just a few tribes. And I know many white people did not own slaves. But I stand by what I'd say. European-Americans did use slaves for cheap labor and treated them horrifically. And although many European Americans did not own slaves (mostly just the rich people had slaves) that doesn't mean that many white people treated them as sub-humans. Hell, even some of the founding fathers kept slaves.

And as a side note, I wouldn't recommend reporting me. If you did, I doubt the admins would think whatever I said was offensive enough to warrant a warning. :)

It is in my knowledge that before the predominantly white slave traders there was no ethnic discrimination and anyone could become a slave. Then as the white traders became more advanced compared to the other ethnic groups they began to discriminate like whites=masters blacks=slaves.

Yes, that's enough of that. Get back on topic and stop embarrassing yourself with edgy religious insults and simplistic retellings of the Transatlantic slave trade and African history, thanks.

I wasn't trying to be edgy or start an argument. And I wasn't insulting anyone. However to avoid derailing the tread I will stop.

So, I have an idea, and I have not a clue whether or not exactly I can make a project out of it, because it has very little spec actually in it. So I recently reread the book Call of the Wild, and i started thinking, huh, what if instead of huskies, they used dinosaurs. So I started looking into polar dinosaurs and found that most of the really cool ones are from Australia, so I thought to myself, what if you flipped the world upside down and tinkered with the continents a bit and basically make australia and antartica into alaska and canada. Take the early to mid cretaceous, add a couple million years and humans, and you have the dinosaur yukon. To make this even better, australia is practically filled with gold and opals, just like the gold filled yukon. Would one be able to make a project on here about this, or would it just be better suited just for the background of a story/book?

So, we've established the idea, but there is still one more thing. What would exactly would have to happen to make an extinction this massive?
Projects
Punga: A terraformed world with no vertebrates
Last one crawling: The last arthropod

ARTH-6810: A world without vertebrates (It's ded, but you can still read I guess)

Potential ideas-
Swamp world: A world covered in lakes, with the largest being caspian sized.
Nematozoic: After a mass extinction of ultimate proportions, a single species of nematode is the only surviving animal.
Tri-devonian: A devonian like ecosystem with holocene species on three different continents.

@insect illuminati get shrekt a long, really big nuclear war paired with global warming paired with a meteor strike, then an ice age from the ash cloud, then if need be a hyper thinning of the ozone layer. Is that cataclismic enough?

That wouldn't be too bad for a movie idea. I suggest you write it in Café Cosmique.

Don't forget a bunch of supervalcanoes and gamma ray bursts.

Totally! Nothing can be too intense or catastrophic! Every idea is a good idea! More death! More chaos! Spacelasers and cataclysm! Destroy it all then rebuild it from the ground up!

Woah, hold on there. It still has to be plausible.

Hey guys, what would you all think of a spec project crossover?

I think the library is planing something like that.
F.I.N.D.R Field Incident Logs
A comprehensive list of all organisms, artifacts, and alternative worlds encountered by the foundation team.

At the present time, concepts within are inconsistent and ever shifting.

(And this is just the spec related stuff)
