| 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!

As a guy who specialises in some of the more biologically questionable spec on the site I can absolutely tell you that mobile catfish barbels are a hell of a long way from bending the laws of biology. Why do half the posts I make end up at the top of new pages Edited by Octoaster, Mar 1 2018, 08:43 AM.

A yes, doing it right. Like your Reptomundus project, where turtles somehow evolve into near perfect ripoffs of modern mammals, completely disregarding a turtle's unique musculoskeletal structure that would make such a covergeance nearly impossible and extremely ubsurd. But no, that's how you do spec right.... Right? Edited by Talenkauen, Mar 1 2018, 09:22 AM.

Don't start beating each other with sticks and have it descend into a stupid fight please. However with my adoration of turtles I must agree that your reptomundus turtle things make absolutely no sense in the slightest. The legs are wrong, the anatomy makes no sense, the conditions to have them evolve would be almost totally impossible at the time and the shell, the most important aspect of turtle anatomy seems to have totally vanished. You're being quite a hypocrite considering this. |

Why don't you guys move this to the Reptomundus thread? I've always meant for this to be a positive thread, a place to counter the complaint that only popular people's projects get attention. I would very much appreciate it if it was not consumed by drama. |

Guys.You are all negative because i said the word "fuck",i'm right?Related to the Reptomundus thingamajic,i said that turtles changed already their morphology prior to KT.So If you think that these turtles are off,than you must believe too that dinosaurs and mammals are impossible.What you said that they can't change their shell structure?Take a look at the softshelled turtles which evolved from your classic freshwater turtle. |

No, it's because of the way you respond, you really seems like you're an angsty teen trying to sound like you know what you're saying.
this is a bit offtopic so I will put it into a spoiler
Please stop using those words on every occasion, nobody here communicates that way, it does not seem like you're taking the conversation seriously when you add fuck and shit in each sentence. |

"Angry teen".No...You can call me an angry person who ...is angry.Believe me...i accept almost anything because i learn everything from you people.You could had criticized my project when it firstly was posted,which nobody told a thing.Secondly,i am burning like a dragon internally when you believe a catfish with fork feelers could be plausible without saying an oppinion.And three i don't know english at perfection.Maybe i don't get all phrases right and while i want to sound like i want to say something,i sound aggressive..Ok take your time...Maybe i'm a moron at english. |

I said angsty, not angry, A N G S T Y
The problem I see is that it is not a project that catches much attention, the style you have used and the messy of the descriptions makes it not interesting for people, not enough even to raise criticism and opinions either, plus some people tend to be patient and wait for others to try to improve on their own, we have had bad experiences for trying to express opinions in a hurried way and they really end up in many cases in a bad way.
You did not offer an argument against either, the only thing you said was that they use their beards to smell and taste, that is not a really definitive aspect that prevents the development of such structures, that also, the concept is for an expanded version of TFIW, so.
Again, it is not that you sound aggressive, but that you sound as if you knew everything, when you show a certain lack of knowledge. If you have a problem with English then it would be appropriate for you to try to speak in your native language, people that probably know your language here would communicate. |

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.. | |

It's been - my god - three years since I've read it, but I remember liking his project Bajocian Impact back when it was made. Decent amount of content for a small project, but the thing that made it stand out to me was the writing style. Many projects try and go for this sort of in-universe storytelling angle, but this one really made it work. |
totally not British, b-baka! You like me (Unlike)I don't even really like this song that much but the title is pretty relatable sometimes, I guess. Me What, you want me to tell you what these mean? Read First Words Maybe | |
