What is the speculative evolution project "All Todays"?

All Todays is a fun game where we imagine how animals might change if they lived in different worlds today.

Imagine you have a pet dog, friendly, bouncy, and always by your side. Now picture that same dog living on a planet with no grass, just rocks and lava. What would happen? Would it become faster to run on rocks? Maybe its fur would turn black to stay cool! That's what speculative evolution is like, guessing how animals might change if they lived in different environments.

Making New Animals

In the "All Todays" project, people think of real animals and imagine where they'd live today. They draw new versions of these animals based on their imagined worlds. For example, a penguin living in a desert might have bigger feet to walk on hot sand or even grow wings like a bird so it can fly away from the heat!

A Playful Way to Learn

This project is like playing pretend with animals, you take what you know and give it a twist. It helps people learn about how animals adapt, just like when you wear a coat in winter or take off your shoes in summer. It's all about having fun while thinking creatively!
