Holocene and Beyond

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.

Also known as: Jacob, JurassicJacob, Beetle	~ Holocene and Beyond ~ It has begun For 3.8 billion years, there's been life on our planet. A world floating in the cosmos, a blue and brown dot in the vast universe. Elsewhere in our galaxy, tiny organisms were evolving on planets. On some worlds, life had only just appeared, on others it had been busy evolving and populating their landscape for millions of years already. On countless worlds life was going extinct. Birth, death, life, on a cosmic scale, beyond our or any other being's perception – at least for now. And at this point in time, the miracle of life appeared on another world. Earth. This moment, which would lead to the incredible journey of evolution, although it would change this one world, was of no great consequence to the universe as a whole. Life came and went all the time, and on the grand scale of intergalactic life, Earth was a miniscule, insignificant speck of life. But for this rocky, blue planet, life would change everything. As the first vertebrates swam through the primordial seas, 525 million years ago, elsewhere in the universe alien organisms were crafting tools and developing sapience. For Earth, it would be a long time until it would see high levels of intelligence. The closest it would get until humans, elephants, corvids, and cetaceans came along would be certain dinosaurs, but the ones that showed most promise were wiped out in the K-Pg event. Theropods lived on, however, in birds, which would later show signs of semi-sapience. There was a long way to go until then, however. When we reach the Holocene, everything on Earth changed in ways that would affect the future profoundly. From apes using stones to crack nuts, to the usage of fire and refined tool making, eventually those primates using sticks to fish for termites would build civilizations and colonise the surface of the planet. Homo sapiens would become the unexpected conquerer of Earth, wiping out species as it goes, and destroying habitats for its own purposes. * Cities, like a shining metal forest, grew and spread across the world, pushing back natural habitats like forests and grassland. Almost too late, humans realised the damage they were doing to the world, polluting it, destroying habitats, killing off species, and contributing towards global warming. It was too late to completely halt the climatic change they had caused, but Homo sapiens could change its ways. Reneweable fuels became the norm, slowly but surely. With the population so huge, there was never large amounts of wild spaces, and many animals went extinct in the wild, but lived on in zoos or in frozen genetic material. The world entered a state of space exploration and genetic modification. Pets, which had for a short period become uncommon due to the lack of space, were now 'trending' again, as populations dropped to a more sustainable level. Genetically modification became common worldwide, GM'd species being used for a variety of reasons – some were pets, some were adapted to take care of invasive species, a few were even made purely for the purpose of teaching students. Further into the future, genetic modification became so common-place that the rich could ask for specially-designed, unique animals, and GMing became a sort of art form. Many of our pets were too frail and dependant on us to survive in the wild . . . but with the overwhelming number of GM'd species, many would survive in the future. In the end, humanity killed itself, in a war to end all wars, wiping out their own species. Those who survived where killed off by the bio-engineered viruses, even the Martian people, the virus spreading to them from people fleeing from Earth on evacuee ships. The bombed mega-cities were empty. The once life-filled domes on Mars were empty. The houses and parks were empty . . . But Earth was not. * Humanity would change the face of the Earth in a way that would be felt for millions of years. It was our pets and companions, the genetically modified organisms, and the urban animals, that would take over where the cities once stood. While some areas still had a large amount of wild animals living in natural places, much of the Earth's land was covered in cities and 'parks' (large wild areas in the city, used for keeping endangered species in, semi-wild). After the extinction of Homo sapiens, the parks and the cities disappeared, forests and plains reclaiming the land. Urban animals and park species were free to conquer the new wild space, before less adaptable pets and GM'd species got there first. But eventually, get there they did, and the world was changed radically, in sometimes surprisingly and bizarre ways. Many pets couldn't survive without humans, and died off, but there were some which survived. Amongst the genetically modified animals, some used their bizarre traits to help them survive, while less adaptable and frail species died off. * In Chapter I we will look at life during human's reign, from their pets to urban animals. We will look at the surprising habitats humanity will create, from floating 'reef' cities to Martian domes. In Chapter II, we shall explore the legacy that humanity left behind in animal form, from pouched dogs to giant goldfish, bioluminescent mice to raptorfowl, and stranger organisms still . . . * Welcome to the Holocene and Beyond . . .

Also known as: Jacob, JurassicJacob, Beetle	Quote: This is a very nice project. Thank you! Quote: I would also like to see some pictures of the GMed insects, if that is cool. When I get around to it, I'll probably draw them. They aren't really that different looking from a normal wasp or ground beetle. Quote: That and how creatures like crossbills and Quolls managed to survive the human activity. Animals like that do pretty well in these scenarios, although after humans go extinct they've still gotta compete with the far more widespread and adaptable urban animals such as gulls, sparrows, etc. But we'll see. Animals like quolls and crossbills can be found in Parks, which are just like nature reserves basically, but surrounded on all side by city. Quote: Good work on the drawings of a raptorfowl and Europan lifeforms. Thank you! Quote: Also, the 22nd century cities are so much more nicer in appearance than 21st century cities. Yeah, that was the idea. I hope that it didn't seem too much like Sheather's Terra Metropolis. Quote: no and no. this is the only part of this thread that I object to. the rest is great work. You object to me being evil? I'm afraid this project rests on me being evil, creating genetically modified abomination, giving Homo sapiens a long, painful death, and kiling off species ruthlessly.

Also known as: Jacob, JurassicJacob, Beetle	Chapter I Safe-Spiders and Other Chinese Pets Tarantulas are surprisingly popular pets, despite their fangs and irritating hairs, as they can be quite docile when handled correctly. In the 22nd Century, there is a boom in tarantulas as pets, thanks to a new genetically modified variety: the 'safe-spider'. As the name suggests, they are intended to be easy-to-care-for, safer creatures than their un-modified relatives. Although they never became very popular, they took off most notably in China, a country which took great pride in creating unique GM'd creatures that symbolized their country. Safe-spiders lacked urticating hairs, and had small, blunt fangs which were incapable of causing any damage – they could, however, grind up certain vegetables such as lettuce. Safe-spiders were far more omnivorous than normal species, and could not only process (with some effort) but also digest plant material. This omnivorous habit will serve them will in the future . . . Another popular pet, which sometimes went wild and escaped into parks and lakes, was the Chinese dragon. These GM'd water monitors have larger scales than a normal variety, and have bony growths on the back of their head. They also have sensitive fleshy whiskers dangling from their snout, the genes taken from catfish. Like the safe-spider, they are omnivores and can eat anything from lettuce to catfood. They have become surprisingly widespread across China, due to their adaptability allowing them to thrive even without he presence of an owner. It is not so unusual to see a feral dragon wandering across a street in many areas of China. Stickymice were another pet which went feral, using their particularly unusual feature to their advantage. These mice were popular for a brief time, but many of them escaped when people lost interest in them due to the influx of new pets such as the dragon mentioned above. Stickymice are, as their name suggests, small mice which are quite unremarkable, if it wasn't for their large feet, the underside of which can be used to climb up completely smooth surfaces like a gecko. In fact, the genes used to make this happen were taken from a gecko. Children delighted in racing their pets up the walls of their bedroom, but this same gift ensured the stickymice's success when they went feral. They could easily climb up buildings and scuttle across smooth surfaces hidden by the vegetation of vertical gardens. We can expect them to do quite well in the future . . .

Is it kept in tanks, or sort of let loose around the house? Also I didn't see the response to the crossbreed question, but I think I should be a bit more specific. If animals which weren't super derived from their unmodified ancestors, like glowdents or sticky mice tried to breed with the normal mouse, or even each other, what might happen?

Is it kept in tanks, or sort of let loose around the house? Thanks. Dragons would usually be kept in tanks or on a roof garden. Some people might allow them to roam around the house. They can grow to around 1 metre long, but they don't need a lot of space. Quote: Also I didn't see the response to the crossbreed question, but I think I should be a bit more specific. If animals which weren't super derived from their unmodified ancestors, like glowdents or sticky mice tried to breed with the normal mouse, or even each other, what might happen? I'm not sure . . . I don't think that they would produce fertile offspring. To be honest I don't know.

Just keep working as you wonted, GM are cool and I personaly would like to see more future pets, maybi some of them could survive with no man, but even if they don't they could be intresting. When you are prepared for spec do it. And will you do some commercially made animals, like super large chicken for meet or chicken that have double ovaries for double egg production?

I've also been thinking about a pet popular in Australia, a pygmy emu which can mimic like a parrot. As for double ovaries in chickens . . . that's a pretty good idea. I'll think about it.

	Quotes Spoiler: click to toggle OctoSharkTaSaurus: WELP. HELL-O-PHANTS IT IS. Kamineigh: I was six and I had started having fantasies about this old crone dying. Sometimes by my own hand. YOU'RE DOING SOMETHING HORRIBLY WRONG IF A SIX-YEAR OLD WANTS TO KILL YOU WITH THE SAME HANDS HE JUST USED TO MAKE A BLOCK TOWER. Parasky: No, he's right, they have a medical grade walrus at most hospitals for that sort of thing.

Ichthyander: If your eyelids are massive enough to significantly affect the path of light in space, it is time to go sleep. Mr Mysterio: Glarn-Glarn, don't... don't fuck the cave baboons. Kamineigh: They lacked wings. Instead, they went around in modified pilot's gear and beat the shit out of people using maces. Parasky: No! We will not calm down! This is a serious argument over whether or not some long dead animal is in any way similar to a group of modern animals that they are descended from! THIS. IS. SEWIOUS. Lamna: Obvious typo, I'm never going to be popular in Belgium. Trex841: Interesting point. Valid counterpoint. Self-obsessed psychotic rant. Parasky: No ties. Begin genetically modifying crows until we have organisms that roughly resemble those in the competition, and then have them fight to the death to see who wins this competition. Alternatively, Cephalian and SabrWolf could fight to the death. But at the end of the day something will be fighting to the death ~~for my amusement~~ to determine the winner.

Seriously, why? Parasky: Maybe y'all should move to America, where you can flex your freedom muscles. Sir Spookums: It's a game about children catching super powered monsters, stuffing them in tiny balls, and battling other strangers' monsters. What about that makes sense in regards to anything, mister Kam? Des Orages: Yi qi. Just when you think you've seen it all, nature screws us over once more. Kaminiegh: This is clearly an inaccurate statement. I'd never challenge the authority of an admin... Unless Paraksytron stubbed his toe and fell over. THEN I, STARSCREIGHM, WILL BECOME THE NEW LEADER OF OF THE DE-SPECU-CONS! Dragon: Is normal a good word to use for describing any of us? Velociraptor: I once dreamed I was trying to steal a flamingo. The flamingo was oddly calm about the whole situation. Kaminiegh: THAT'S IT, I'M KINKSHAMING. Flashman63: In its 4,600 year history, men from all eras, places and classes have been entering into the Library: from the ancient bearded sages of Sumeria and Chaldea, to the sober-minded Academics and Zoologists of the Victorian era, to the great warlord Cletus, an inbred hillbilly who just happened to be carrying his AR-15 around his County's Strip-Mall library.

Little: Starting playing DND, took all of an hour of gameplay until a yuri love-triangle was initiated. And no, it was not my fault. Corecin: If this is your first time with a lesbian love triangle in a DnD game than you don't even have to specify that you're starting out. Octo: Oh no now Little will enlighten with the deep and complex subject that is hentai lore. Beetleboy: It shows what kind of person I am that I'm seeking crush advice on a forum about creating fictional organisms. Corecin: I am not in the mood for looking up yuri because then the FBI agent monitoring my computer will judge me with reckless abandon. Blue_Komrade: Excuse me sir I am going to have to see if you have your membership card to the Misanthrope Club.
