| 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!

I'm resurecting this project. I figure that with all these new members on the sight, there should be plenty of people who want to join. There will be some changes though: It will not be organized similar to Sagan IV anymore, there will be ages and periods. Every age several species are created, depending on how the old species would have adapted, then it jumps ahead several million years to the next age, where species are again evolved. Every so many ages (no real set number) will be periods, which are organized by major geological/evolutionary events, like mass extinctions, the birth of multicellular life, ice ages etc. There will also be much more organization. I'm not an extremely diligent person, so I won't be able to juggle all the aspects of the project, and I'll need other people to help with it. It also will be more "likely" then Sagan IV. Multicellular life will not occur nearly as much and there needs to be more explanations for things like organs and internal structure, most of which, along with major events such as mass extinctions and mabe sapience will be decided at councils in the beginning of each age. The starting planet will no longer be called Nai Vasi, because that name has been taken by one of my other planets, the name will be agreed on when we start it. I won't be the only one accepting species either, when a species is submitted it will be analyzed by multiple people before being accepted, to ensure that there are no flaws. I was wondering weather it should begin with one single celled organism, or several, just to get the ball rolling, please input. I hope to get at least 5 members before the project actually re-begins. Edited by ChumZar, Sep 10 2008, 07:54 AM.

That depends on if paleognath lets it be here or not. No offense, but I hope it's here, simply because this is a more popular site as far as I know, which means more members. |

So is that four or five? (counting me) Because If it's five we can start. But more members would be nothing but good. Edited by ChumZar, Sep 20 2008, 11:33 AM.

It depends on if it makes sense or not. |
