Just because your general body shape did not change does not mean you did not evolve.
Point: facts
Counterpoint: memes
😁🫠
This may seem like it’s just meant to be funny, but evolution without changes in genes is literally the origin of the word “meme”.
Memetic evolution (as opposed to genetic evolution) happens through passing information from generation to generation, so having the counterpoint just be “memes” is unbelievably accurate!
Nerd.
I enjoy the information. I still have to call you out.
I’m proud to have been called a nerd
I’m with Team Meme on this one.

Yup, things like temperature, humidity, and atmospheric makeup can change quite a bit depending on geological periods.
There’s a bit of an evolutionary necessity to adapt on those timescales.
So perfect that the poor things are doomed to have their blood harvested
We are their vampires.
This is what peak performance looks like
They have evolved, just the body hasn’t changed.
So did they grow as a person then?
I’ve seen the evolution of the one to the right. It now has a USB connection on the tail.
We talking USB-C, though?
Did you talk to one?
At least they don’t pay taxes.
Without flaw unless it gets flipped on its back.
Ain’t a problem in the ocean
The beauty of evolution. If it works, it works. Whatever they have been doing for so long is working.
Furthermore it’s beautiful that the evolutionary pressure hasn’t changed. That there hasn’t been a benefit from any of the genetic mutations. That the evolutionary pressure still applies to this day to ensure conformance with the perfect archetype.
And now they will miss out on becoming crab, those poor fools.
You fool!
Crawls sideways
We was crab all along!
They do have one flaw and that’s their blood being so valuable to humans.
Although perhaps that means humans will ensure their survival. So maybe even that is an evolutionary advantage
There’s been some buzz lately about a synthetic replacement for horseshoe crab blood. Once again outlasting a threat to their species while changing absolutely nothing.
I feel like I’ve heard of this, but it’s bonkers. What is their blood used for again?
I couldn’t wait for the answer
In the 1960s, scientists discovered that the sky blue blood inside horseshoe crabs would clot when it detected bacterial toxins. Vaccines, drugs and medical devices have to be sterile before they’re put inside people. A better toxin-detection system meant less contamination risk for patients

Once again bonkers.
Thank you
He is the one.
Looks like one of those battlebots.
Also a true hero for our species, they deserve statues.
After the perfection only can exist decay, without errors, evolution can’t exist.
I wouldn’t be surprised if they find these guys on Mars soon
