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.

During about 58 million years from now in the future, North and South America have become island continents because of some plate tectonics and continental driftings they have been through many millions of years until 58 million years from now.

North America is a redundant continent with some very difficult and cold conditions and temperatures at the north while there are mostly warm, arid, and humid conditions and temperatures at the south. The United States of America have become a very huge rain-shadow desert because throughout time, the temperate and deciduous forests have given way to deserts and the Great Plains have also disappear too. The Appalachian and Rocky mountains have connected to each other and they almost extended themselves.

South America is also very redundant just like North America but it was also the last home of our species and to our closely related descendants.
The humans now lived at South America before the Isthmus of Panama no longer exists anymore. After the Panama Isthmus was gone, there were always seasonal conditions and changes occurring only at the daytime (mostly they happened at the Pampas and other grasslands of south america) but the fauna and flora have changed very little. The humans mostly replaced the new world monkeys and apes and they were almost extinct but a few species lived at the grassland and desert areas. The southern tip of south america was covered in tundra and it connects to Antarctica and the Andes Mountains remained very unchanged. The Amazon Rainforest and River has been through many different conditions and changes and they are also homes to very wonderful and different diversities and species of animals.

However, enjoy the North and South America of 58 million years from now in the future........

California have been split away from the mainland of North America and it now has become a island and it is located almost close to the Hawaiian islands. The plant and animal life has unchanged and California is mostly a desert island but there are temperate forests surrounding the desert areas.

Yeah, like all cities and towns would disappear within a few centuries to a few thousands years after humans died out. In fact all traces of humanity should be gone 15 million years after they died out (well maybe fossils of us would survive, depending on how the bodies were preserved).

Also I think Baja California (which is what I'm assuming you meant) would move in a more northernly direction and basically slide north along the west coast.

But I do find this project interesting.

Actually, they're in the form of old, barren, empty, and abandoned ruins but everything else in the cities has almost been destroyed before millions of years in the future thanks to us.

Yeah, like all cities and towns would disappear within a few centuries to a few thousands years after humans died out. In fact all traces of humanity should be gone 15 million years after they died out (well maybe fossils of us would survive, depending on how the bodies were preserved).

Also I think Baja California (which is what I'm assuming you meant) would move in a more northernly direction and basically slide north along the west coast.

But I do find this project interesting.
Is this true about the traces of humanity being gone until 15 million years in the future?
You know Humans now only lived at South America in this future world, right?

I'm a little scared of what kept tropical animals from evolving for 50+ million years.

but I'm curious what these future island continents are like. please, continue.

Some native south american mammals such as sloths and river dolphins became extinct and they have been replaced by other species that quickly took over their ecological roles.

During about 58 million years from now in the future, North and South America have become isolated from each other and from the other continents of the world because of some plate tectonics and continental driftings they have through many millions of years from now until 58 million years from now.
North and South America are already isolated from the other continents of the world.

North America is a very unique and distinct continent with some very difficult and cold conditions and temperatures at the north while there are mostly warm, arid, and humid conditions and temperatures.

"Unique and distinct" is redundant.

Quote:
 
The United States of America have become a very huge rain-shadow desert because throughout time, the temperate and deciduous forests have given way to deserts and the Great Plains have also disappear too. The Appalachian and Rocky mountains have connected to each other and they almost extended themselves.

How? Rainshadow deserts only occur near mountains, and even then only under specific conditions. Also, this isn't really a 'unique and distinct' environment.

Quote:
 
South America is also very unique and distinct just like North America but it was also the last home of our species and to our closely related descendants.

Again, redundant. Also, how the hell have humans lasted this long?

How the USA became a very huge rainshadow desert is because the rocky mountains almost started to spread throughout the whole country, causing the forests to transform into deserts that are occurring near mountains and that's how the whole United States became a huge desert.
Also, plants and animals started to adapt to this all new desert and they also withstand the hot and dry desert conditions and a community of plants and animals started to appear very quickly.

How humans only lived at South America at this future world is because they used genetic modifying and engineering from the Machines (a mechanized descendant of Homo Sapiens and they are also the last subspecies of Homo Sapiens) to help them lived and lasted very longer and they also used biomechanical robotics and creations to help them for many uses (from creating and engineering the posthuman descendants to create hybrids of modern humans and the Machines) and that's how the humans still lived and never died out.

Except rainshadow deserts don't form on both sides of a mountain range. Do you have any inkling of how these things work?
Also, if these humans are genetically modified to be different from their ancestros, why are you still calling them humans? Also, how the hell did humans make a 'mechanized' descendant, let alone breed with them? And if they genetically engineered posthumans, why are you calling them the 'last humans'? They clearly still have descendants, so they aren't the last of their kind.
