Alternate possible evolutions

What should we name the world and the wikia?

Also, what subkingdoms and phylae should the kingdom Animalia be split into? So far we have a flying trilobite, a shark, a tiny burrowing 'dog', and a swimming jet bug tank. The flying trilobite and swimming jet bug tank seem like they have to be in the same phylum, and so do the shark and tiny burrowing 'dog'.

Maybe the seemingly-vertebrates can actually be evolved from Shevek23's vertebrato-echidnoderms?


Or, maybe we should say that these organisms that we already have, however they evolved, were transplanted to the world with those vertebrato-echidnoderms having just evolved. Then we figure out what the world would be like.

Though if we do the latter, I say we ought to have some trees and grass, a species of ant, and the sharks and jet bugs should live in a body of water separate from that of the vertebrato-echidnoderms, so they get a chance to evolve.

Well, 1: I vote for the title being 'One World'

2:In paragraphs 4-5, are you suggesting animals being transported across parallel universes? If so, that would make a great ASB idea.
 
I like it, through there are a one thing, the tail are to long, it serve no purpose in a burrowing species and will only be in the way.
Good point. I was basing the design off a star-nosed mole, which retains it's tail for aquatic antics. I forgot to erase the tail, and it stuck.
 
Anyone know if it's physically possible for there to be a sluglike species as long as a snake that moves almost as or just as fast as a snake?

1: Eh, doesn't really fit. And pretty generic: I bet you 5 dollars that there is a multiculturalism wikia called One World. EDIT: It's not about multiculturalism but it exists.
2: Yeah. Although, I forgot to mention that these would just be the common ancestors of everything.
2.5: Wait so do you prefer the 'all these animals evolved on the same world somehow' idea or the 'transplant animals from parallel universes' idea?

1. I was just tossing it out there. I don't know what I say half of the time.
2.Alright.
2.5: I'd prefer the idea of animals being transplanted from one universe to another, as I'm certain a shark sized jet-powered animal would not be present in a world with echino-vertebrates or a Carcharodntid shark. plus it allows a more diverse set of animals to arrive and invade a given earth.

And, I like the idea of a serpentine gastropod. It would of course have to arise during a warm, highly oxygenated time.
 
More stupid names, most of them worse than One World. Optionally, place the word 'Planet' before them.

Creaturia
Ahia
AHia
Althisia
Evolucia
Coevolutia
Alternatevolution

EDIT: I'll probably make a thread in the ASB forum with the name, as well as naming the wikia that.

Sorry, I’m a little late on this thread. Has it been decided to discuss theoretical evolution only one “alternate Earth” or are any theoretical evolution discussions welcome?

Because myself I have always kind-off wondered what it would be like if another hominid had survived/become dominant. I know there are several “Neanderthals Survive” threads around, but I haven’t seen much on other hominids.

Another intriguing possibility – what if apes become intelligent rather than humans? I recall reading a number of years ago about fossil remains of a lemur that scientist say could have evolved into a human-analog had it not been exterminated by our early ancestors (unfortunately I do not recall what that particular lemur species was called and I no longer possess the book in which I read the claim).
