Alternative
natural history, also known as speculative biology, is the
extrapolation of the laws of evolution into the future to
hypothesize about future species.Also, it explores questions such as how would life
have evloved if dinosaurs never died out.
The well known
discovery mini-series The future is wild is a good example of
speculative biology.
Criticism
Alternative natural history or speculative biology
has often been critisized as pseudoscience.They point to the fact that ecolution is not
linear, therefore it impossible to accurately determin which
direction evolution will take.In other words, it is just speculation.
Fiction
This theme has commonly been used in science fiction,
especially in time-travel situations.
Books
H.G
Wells, The Time Machine: Describes the future of human evolution
(or devolution) into two species, the -Morlocks and the Eloi.
