Speculative Evolution Wikia



Welcome to the Speculative Evolution Wikia
Hello! This is a wiki where you can create your own project on made-up lifeforms! There are two different types of categories: by genre and by detail.

Genre
These categories are by how they distinguish themselves from Earth. Whether you go into the future or an alternate dimension, a project can fit in here.

Alternate
Alternate evolution explores other paths evolution could have taken. A great example would be writing about how the asteroid that wiped out the dinosaurs never hit.

Future
Future evolution explores what paths evolution might take in the future, near or far. After Man and The Future is Wild are some of the best published examples out there.

Astrobiology
Astrobiology looks at what life might form on other planets. Alien Planet is a good example of this field, although this is merely the most well known.

Fantasy
Fantasy starts to wander into the realm of the ridiculous, with scientific evolution based on fictional locations. For example, an infinite library turned habitat for all plants, animals, and fungi you might find in a finite library! This category also accepts projects that don't fit into the other categories.

Detail
These categories simply sort by different levels of detail. Just because a project is in a lower category doesn't mean that it's a bad project, it only means that it doesn't have a lot of detail. A project that is solid gold will still be placed under another that couldn't be worse if it has less detail.

Type 1
This category is mostly for pictures and descriptions of a single thing. Even if the picture or description is fantastic, if it's not part of a bigger project, then it'll land here.

Type 2
This category is for simple food chains(ex. mouse eats grass, eagle eats mouse, eagle dies and feeds grass) with explanations of what the lifeforms are and how they fit in. Again, it is less about the quality of the habitats and more about the details present.

Type 3
More complex food webs are filed under this category.

Type 4
Even more interactions and more than one environments. This is like a generalized view of the species in your region.

Type 5
If it didn't say it was set in the future or an alternate past, you'd swear it was ripped off of Wikipedia. Only determined speccers will consider finishing these projects-or reading them through!

You can also ask speculative evolution questions on the forums. Remember, no vandalizing and happy speccing!
