How would you reword the headline?

  Excellent question! I'm not sure I could do much better, tbh. Maybe something like, "New theory suggests turtles shells used for digging before protection." Not nearly as succinct, to be sure, but less click-baited. The current title certainly got me to click through... My original comment really was one of curiosity and theophrastus's link to Teleology above hit on exactly the thought process that I was wondering about.
