I want to have a thread discussing how the biological makeup of our lovely world could have turned out different through historic events. I feel like this is a part of history that we often overlook in our discussions and TLs, so let's talk about them here.
I would like to bring up, to kick off the conversation, the possibility of wolves continuing to live in Britain. Had, perhaps, the kingdoms of the British Isles not put bounties on the animals, they would likely have continued to have been hunted to save livestock, but may have lingered on in the countryside in small numbers.
Another conversation starter, the Carolina Parakeet, which went extinct in the wild in 1904. Had the southern colonies not been so agrarian, destroying the forests that these animals lived in, they probably would still exist, and thrive. Or, if populations had been maintained in the domestication process, domestic Carolina Parakeets would at least still be around.
