Speculative evolution is a field of study that explores the hypothetical ways in which life on Earth could have evolved differently or the ways in which life on other planets or moons might evolve. It is a subgenre of science fiction that combines elements of biology, paleontology, and evolution to create fictional scenarios of how life might have evolved in different circumstances.
There are a number of documentaries that explore the concept of speculative evolution, both in terms of how life on Earth could have evolved differently and how life on other planets might evolve.
These documentaries often feature scientists, science fiction writers, and other biology experts who discuss the various possibilities and theories related to speculative evolution.
