Kamapuas

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.

Pigs treat us as equals": Winston Churchill Fourty-two million years have past since the last humans left earth for outer space. In that time, all of his creations, even the toughest plastics, have all been degraded and destroyed. However, this only applies to his artificial constructs. Indeed, many of the subspecies and resurrected species he has bred have become their own families, like our focus of this project. In what what was once the island of Cuba, two descendant of feral whitetail deer (Balteucornibus bubalumimus) stare at each other. Much stockier in bauplan like the now-extinct bison, these bucks are competing for territorial rights. They charge at one another, sending an echoing sound throughout the forest. They rear up and try and slash and punch one or the other via their hooves, which hit like rocks. However, the older buck sudden stops and sniffs the air. Something's wrong: he smells something he hasn't smelt before coming from behind the younger one, and he's not sticking around to find out what it is. He runs off, leaving the fight making the ground shake sightly and the younger buck the default winner. He's not coming back to this part of the island ever again. The younger buck pauses for a moment, as he sniffs the air too. What would drive that rival away? He doesn't care however, as this is now his territory, and can't wait to get to the does as walks into the older buck's former territo- -WOOSH! Something grazes his flesh as it lands nearby. Terrified, he races away trailing blood, but it in the direction the spear came from. Big mistake. Another spear and a few arrows fly straight into his throat. That does him in as he falls to ground, his mind quickly slipping away. The last thing he sees before he closes his eyes permanently is a hoofed foot somewhat like his stomp down on his throat... The deer's new predator are the first of their kind on the island. Thy are the Kamapua (Orcusus sapiens sapiens): a sapient species of suid, and the next sophont to grace the earth starting with the southeastern US where they have first evolved. We will follow their species and their road leading to sapience. Occasionally, we'll also see the strange yet familiar fauna of this time.

I, personally, agree with the sentiment. With regards to spec projects, we need to ~~construct~~ create additional pigs.
	We have a Discord server! If you would like to join, simply message myself, Flisch, or Icthyander. Some of my ideas (nothing real yet, but soon): Refugium: A last chance for collapsing ecosystems and their inhabitants. Pansauria: A terraforming project featuring the evolution of exactly one animal - the marine iguana. Mars Renewed: An insight into the life of Mars thirty million years after its terraforming by humankind. Microcosm: An exceedingly small environment. Alcyon: A planet colonized by species remodeled into new niches by genetic engineering. Oddballs: Aberrant representatives of various biological groups compete and coexist. ..and probably some other stuff at some point (perhaps a no K-T project). Stay tuned!

They have a covering of hair on their heads down to their ever-vanishing tails. Their skin is dark pink to light brown depending on what population they are (e.g. Kamapuas of northern Russia have lighter skin then those of south USA Kamapuas). They are very muscular, especially in the shoulder/arm region. The hands of the Kamapua are halfway between hooves and true hands, two 'pseudofingers' being divided into segments but still very bony, only able to form 'rings' that tools can be inserted in. The same goes for their heads: its face has shortened and flattened, but still retain its signature tusks. However its snout has fused with its upper lip to form a proboscis like the now-extinct tapirs or elephants. These are used to manipulate objects like a third arm.

Prime Specimen Posts: 1,443 Group: Members Member #1,998 Joined: Oct 10, 2016 Gender: Male Nationality: Ontarian Gender: Male	Cactucats: Pua's Best Friend Whether they're out hunting with their masters or sleeping by the fire with a piglet or two or five nearby, you can always find a Cactucat (Cerauris viridis domesticus; Green Horn-Ear of the house)wherever there is a Kamapua, much like dogs did with humans. Cactucats are felids, or at least are descended from them. They first evolved from cats around 25 million years hence in what was once central Asia. Unlike their ancestors, they have small antlers and spines formed from hair (like a rhino's) running down their backs used for sexual selection and during fights. Cactucats' diets are very comparable to that of the now-extinct bears, feeding on just about anything they can digest, from grass, to the Kaktyc plants of the the northern hemisphere, to small animals like mice and birds. Sometimes even their own cubs are taken. In Kamapuan society, cactucats serve several purposes. One is long-range hunting: Kamapuas, while by no means slow, can only run on for 30 minutes before they tire out. Cactucats on the other hand can chase after a small deer for over two hours before they start to loose steam. At some point or another (perhaps around 12,000 years before the events of this project), a group of Kamapuan hunters in what was once eastern Canada figured they could catch prey by spooking some game into Cactucat territory, where one would be ambushed and taken down before they would chase the cactucat away and retrieve their kill. It worked for a while, but then the cactucats began to learn, and eventually stopped going after them all together. Fifteen years later, a Kamapua chasing a Newabbit stumbled upon a litter of Cactucat cubs that had recently lost their mother. He made the decision to raise them as his own and took him back to his dugout. Recalling that the cactucats were once used during hunting, he one day decided to try and respark the practice. (Added more to it and will do more later). Happy now?) Edited by Yiqi15, Nov 15 2016, 11:41 AM.

Breeding? And why do they still have hands? Pigs cannot evolve hands with opposable thumbs not in 29 million years only.

Go on... You forgot about Sheather's flying pigs, Trollman's pirgs and tyrannopigs and Dromaeosaurus' trunk-nosed rat pig. I'm very interested in this project but I agree that a little bit more description is needed on the Kamapua themselves. It's not that I think pigs can't evolve 'thumbs' but there would have to be good reasn for them to do so seeing as how pigs mainly use their snouts to manipulate things.
