If we were ever to discover alien life, it’s highly likely we’d find it mind-blowing, and maybe even a little disturbing. One science fiction project which truly excels at depicting this is ‘Snaiad:’ which is one of the most detailed speculative biology projects of all time. The famous fictional world of Snaiad is the creation of the one and only C. M. Koseman, author of All Tomorrows and expert in all things alien.
So, for this entry into the archive, I’ll be taking you on a documentary-style tour across this truly alien planet, and exploring just some of the life that dwells on its surface…

@@battyboio Could be argued that spec-evo goes all the way back to the 1st edition of The Origin of Species back in 1859. Darwin recounts a story of a black bear swimming for hours with its mouth wide open to scoop insects from the water 'like a whale'. He imagined that natural selection might produce increasingly aquatic bears 'with larger and larger mouths' until a creature 'as monstrous as a whale' emerged. This tale was ridiculed by Darwin's peers and it was greatly shortened in later editions.

i love it when the creator of a fictional planet and ecostystme really comes up with something unique like this. i feel like a lof of speculative biology on fictional planets relies too much on using shapes and forms we already know from earth but just put a new alien skin on it, which isnt realistic at all. I love that these are clearly creatures that evolved completely separate from earth life and are not similar in any way really.

I wonder if All Tomorrows itself will ever be archived. I know other channels have covered it, but it's such a foundation to the spec-evo genre. Then again, maybe he's avoiding it for the same reason Man After Man wasn't covered when he did the videos on Dougal Dixon's work. Speculative human evolution is a one-way trip to the uncanny valley.

As they both go really in depth about the alien life. Some of my favorites are the Tromobrachids and Titaniformes. They remind me of dinosaurs. The second head and limbs fusing to make a large mouth is super interesting.

I think evolution on other worlds would be a lot more convergent than alien. Though I guess that depends on Earth similarity. Perhaps a planet with high gravity would have more robust animals but they would still occupy similar niche as an example.
