I'm with you on this one blacky. Speculative biology, is just that. Speculation. Most of the theories make too many assumptions. These assumptions are based on how we observe our own world around us, and how it's own biological systems work. Law 'x' on this planet, might be law 'x+1' on another planet. Don't get me wrong. There are some very good theories kickin about. But, we don't even know 100% how life started on this planet (unless you're a bible basher), our own origin is speculative biology. To be honest. Until we can actually find another life form in this universe (or they find us), all we will do is speculate.

you guys are misunderstanding the whole concept. you are looking at it as though its trying to predict whats out there when in fact its only an exercise to help us be on the look out for the possible types of life that might be encountered.
concrete you use the term speculative back on them as though you've pointed something out that was unnoticed. they call it speculative biology because they understand its speculation not because speculative just sounds really cool to them.
they realize completely that they are basing their "speculations" on our earth bound knowledge. i've yet to read or hear one scientist say this is exactly how it will be. for some reason you guys have gotten it in your head someone is claiming this to be a precises science.
now given the laws of the universe are......well....universal........then this could prove to be a very interesting field far into the future. until that time it walks that fine line between science and science fiction which is why i even made this thread..........i was doing research for a story.
blacky honestly is believing we were made from aliens based on wild stories any less a leap of faith than scientist sitting around thinking about what forms life may take on other planets? or any more harmful to humanity?

You know I have a problem with the old theory that if an alien has two arms and legs it must be in some way related to us. Why? bipedal locomotion is a very efficient means of getting around for a highly intelligent creature. When we developed high intelligence we lost the need for four legs to run fast and catch our food or escape predators. So why should this not be the case for every other intelligent life form in the universe. If the laws of nature are indeed universal then shouldn't it follow that other life forms followed a similar evolutionary cycle as we did and there for would look somewhat similar to us, hence two arms and two legs.

Why do you have to get so fucking deep? Jesus, now I have to think. Evolution of other animal and mammal species has been proven. The evolution of the homosapien species is still a mystery. According to the Bible ( don't shoot me on this cause I'm just quoting) man has only been on earth for only 5 to 6 thousand years. Now here we go. Man was a troglodite a neanderthal (some still are BTW) for as many as 1 million years ago and probably earlier All of a sudden we grew into homo erectus and became man. Missing link has never been found. Hmmm. The alien agenda is out there. The sumerian tablets of creation can explain this, the I Ching can explain it, The Bible does it's take on this, even the Koran, the Torah, and the Vedas explain what has happened. Neanderthal has been genetically manipulted to become what we all have become now.

As I understand it, the accepted theory now is that Neanderthals were a different speices than modern humans and were wiped out by modern humans as they spread around the globe.
Serves them right really, bloody neanderthals.
But where modern humans came from is anyones guess.

I dont know if it was the modern day humans that wiped them out though! they are finding new evidence all the time that contradicts that theory! its the same for those little hobbit people, they are a different race of being on this planet so why not a bigfoot or yeti as well? Before I was on about how we are suposed to look like the so called anunnaki who made us because they used some of thier dna! I wasnt just refering to us having two arms and legs! I was just wondering if this is true then they live on one planet and we live on this one so does that mean have we started to look different because of this or is there one rule for aliens and humans to look alike? now the greys are suposed to be some cloned race which is why they are different? ?

Well there is thought that modern humans bred with neanderthals and the two species combined. Which may help explain this guy....
