Scenarios about 'alternative evolution'
The study of how evolutionary processes might have produced different outcomes if key factors or events in Earth's biological history had varied. Alternative evolution explores counterfactual scenarios such as different extinction events, altered climate patterns, or varied continental drift, examining how these changes might have created radically different ecosystems and species. This field combines principles from evolutionary biology, paleontology, and speculative science to imagine Earth's biosphere under alternative historical conditions.
