| 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. Join our community today! |

We all look the same to you huh? ![]() And yeah, there has been previous speculation that rates of anomalies such as cervical ribs will rise in populations undergoing genetic meltdown- perhaps the genes involved are specifically vulnerable to the buildup of recessive forms or genetic load. They appear in humans sometimes, usually asymptomatically. |

Time flows like a river. Which is to say, downhill. We can tell this because everything is going downhill rapidly. It would seem prudent to be somewhere else when we reach the sea. "It is the old wound my king. It has never healed." | |

To be fair, well written science news is a much better read for most people than the original paper. Without decent knowledge, most people won't be able to put the paper in context to understand the significance, or lack of. A good journalist will be able to provide that context. The problem is that so much science news isn't well written. |

It's mostly impossible.The reason they were almost extinct was because of the changing weather,more snown means that the plants will be too deep to be foraged or too warm means that the hair will overheat the rhino.They lived in conifer forest and plains.The humans maybe played a tiny part of the herbivore's demise . |
