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.

Welcome to the Future

Humanity. The word conjures up images of civilization. A diverse tapestry displaying the different periods of man's brief existence. The Egyptians. The Vikings. The Romans. Humans continued to adapt. Change. Build. But all this success went to their heads. They caused more problems to this planet than they could fix. Pollution. Industrialisation. Global Warming. Over a mere 6000 years of civilization, a small fraction on a four billion year old timeline, humanity caused the earth to slowly die. Ecosystems collapsed. Species went extinct. It was the end of the world we faced, due to our own actions. Or so we thought. As history has proven time and time again, Earth has a way of healing itself. Producing life from ashes. The rebirth of earth. A world once again without humanity. Twenty million years post humanity, the world is different. Continents have shifted. Sea levels have changed. Animals have evolved. Earth as a place is quite different. Many animal species are unrecognisable. Life has prospered. Join along a journey into this distant world. Join this journey, into the future.

So I've been away from speculative evolution for a while now. A couple years I think, and looking back my old projects had many mistakes. I've began this project as I've recently been in the mood to try my hand at future evolution once more. I'm hoping this will be much better than my former projects, as I've done a lot more research on the topic, put more time in and thought of reasons for evolution and my timeline. Looking back I'm actually embarrassed of my former write ups and responses to criticism. Regardless, any questions, criticism and feedback are greatly appreciated. Updates will come soon.

Fantastic work. However when doing the nomenclature of your species it's only the Genus name that's captalised, not the species name. So it would be Peramirum calidus, or P. calidus for example. You can also put the genus and species name in italics but only if you want to; it's not necessary. Just a helpful tip

Thanks for feedback :D

Just thought I should note I have a lot going on right now. I won't update for a while but it's not finished.
