    Cool meme but the nerd in me needs to point out that carcinisation is seen in non-crab crustaceans, not all animals in general

      Not yet.

      We might see marine animals trend towards dolphins, but given enough time, does a dolphin become a crab, or does a crab become a dolphin?

        Cute comment, but the nerd in me needs you to provide a sauce for making a statement like that. You can’t extrapolate evolution like that, brah

          Which part? Convergent evolution towards a dolphin? (Dolphins and ichthyosaurus) Or the question of Dolphin to Crab or Crab to dolphin?

          We gotta wait another hundred million years to find out that answer.
