Welcome to Terra 2: A Second Tree Of Life, an on-going speculative evolution project.

Speculative evolution is a sort of writing and artform where one uses basic principles of science to construct fictional yet realistic worlds and the life living upon them. It is not a story, or at least not one driven by characters, rather its more like a journal documenting the changes in an ecosystem and its animals over millions of years, creating fictional animals, plants, continents and taxonomic trees. If this doesn't interest you, then, well, this isn't gonna be enjoyable to read (though I hope you still give it a try anyway :) ).All Rights Reserved

The Odd New World by Azore21

"The Odd New World" is a fictional story told in the perspective of a young woman in a post-apocalyptic world who goes on a journey to find any way to escape the planet and find her people again after her world was invaded by various otherworldly creatures. The creatures now roam all across the world, spreading new plant life and increasing their numbers with much more ease as most of humans have either been killed, or escaped the planet before things progressively got worse for humans. All the creatures are not anything the woman has ever seen before. She must learn about these creatures and figure out how she will go about roaming around in a new world that she was not prepared for in order to get out of there alive.

Planet Cypro by CytrozianGod

For two decades, the Earth had become a place of nightmares to the human race. A disease known as Covid-19, thought to be equivalent to the flu, turned out to be so much more. A very gruesome and powerful alien bio weapon. Not only did it kill billions, but turned their bodies into seeds that grew into alien terraforming roots that reshaped the surface of the Earth, mutating the land, and everything organic, leaving humans to survive on mostly inhabitable planet that's beyond hazardous all over the world. Join a group of survivors in a large city that have locked down an old office building that remains mostly intact as they try and find a way to safety. Their last hope lies in a military base one hundred miles from them, and as they make their journey there, begins the Chaos of Planet Cypro.

50 Million Years from Now by Landiahazak

I'm not the first one to write about speculative zoology, I was inspired by many books and tv shows which introduced the idea to me. Those which helped me the most with this project were H.G. Wells' Time Machine and Dougal Dixon's After Man. As well, I should mention the documentary style tv episodes The Future is Wild. With all these sources I was able to finally come up with my own story: Fifty Million Years from Now.

Who am I? (choose your own adventure!) by RibcagesAndBookpages

this is a story where you choose your own reaction to things, and see where things take you!!! This is a complete 'level' like in a game, as in each interactions will either end in your death, or work you to the next level through more interactions. Want to see if you have what it takes to survive? Choose your own path and find out! (Has gore, tw for this will be in the story before you read it. No sexual scenes) (Discontinued half way into the second book)

To the Well-Organized Mind by AyndhriaSoung

After Earth is ravaged by climate change and the Cataclysm-the largest earthquake in history- humans are struggling to survive. Swathes of unlivable landscapes, the Barrens, continue to grow. Everywhere else is a battleground, where humans fight each other for food, water, and shelter. Humanity's numbers further dwindle as they fall victim to a new bacteria unearthed by the Cataclysm, Dementium feralis. It causes humans to lose their higher cognitive functions and turn feral, like the primates they originated from. There is no cure. Nia is a survivor of this world. She makes a living doing the riskiest endeavors-traveling the Barrens, collecting survivors, and hunting for the remaining vaccines that can help delay feralism. People are in awe of her willingness to risk her life, but it's easy when your days are numbered, and hers are. She's turning feral. However, her latest foray into the Barrens leads to an incredible discovery: someone with the potential to create a feralism cure. But it takes time and risk to create a cure, without promise of a payout. To Nia, some fates are worse than death, and the only absolute is the oblivion of feralism awaiting her. She must choose what to embrace: the feralism that could be humanity's only survival, or the risk for a cure. **** Now available on Amazon! https://www.amazon.com/Well-Organized-Mind-Andrea-Soung/dp/B0C6BQTZ2B/?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_w=Fl3EC&content-id=amzn1.sym.ed85217c-14c9-4aa0-b248-e47393e2ce12&pf_rd_p=ed85217c-14c9-4aa0-b248-e47393e2ce12&pf_rd_r=139-9204535-3864644&pd_rd_wg=rvk9V&pd_rd_r=1a892e06-01ad-4e5e-802a-e856a57daf20&ref_=aufs_ap_sc_dsk **** Cover art compiled by Andrea Soung Man image credit: https://pixabay.com/illustrations/man-destruction-double-exposure-1519665/ Wasteland image credit: https://pixabay.com/illustrations/landscape-scenery-nature-deserts-6880552/

The Garden of New Olympia (Commission-able Stories) by TheUniverseofCMed

On the planet of New Olympia, humans and other anthro-like characters search to find love and company with one another. The great world consists of one of the largest forested lands to ever exist. It is a land of plenty and paradise. People that enter the forest are devoted to finding love and companionship. The Garden of New Olympia is a collection of different romantic, love, and sexual encounters for each chapter. While it takes place during the Gabatrix and Tales of Heroes universe, the book is strictly erotica, with no heavy emphasis on the story. With the exception of the Prologue to provide a back story to the setting, each chapter is designed to reflect the sexual atmosphere or erotica encounters that are made. Each chapter (starting from Chapter 1) consists of its own set of tags. To learn more about how to have your own idea of a story being written, please refer to Commissioning Info Page.

Looking For Hope by NefertitiFenison

After major coastal cities sink to the bottom of the ocean at the end of the twenty-first century, the richest inhabitants of Earth escape the planet to build new colonies in a distant solar system. Thirty six light years away from the Milky Way galaxy, centuries have passed and humanity is well established. Among the most notable establishments is a prestigious university for the study of alien biology. Moira, a girl with a pervasive developmental disorder, but a talented student nonetheless, navigates the challenge of interplanetary university life as she researches a rare and endangered species. When a deeper threat emerges that challenges the existence of these creatures, she must team up with her classmates and find a solution to a problem much bigger than they could ever hope to be. ***** Credits: The cover is courtesy of the brilliant @vertigo_moon from The Vertigo Graphics while the line editing/proofreading/grammar check was done with a lot of input from Halyn Bleiz a.k.a vin_elend from the Floret community and Katie Marie from the Coven of Bookworms community. They have my gratitude. The blurb was written with some help from @RowanCarver and I am thankful for her feedbacks.
