Say what??? Reference needed. I can think of plenty of animals that are nothing like crabs.
- RajT88 3y agohttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carcinisation https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carcinisation It comes from a recent clickbaity headline, "Why does everything keep evolving into crabs?". Crab-like creatures have independently evolved a bunch of times from different crustaceans. Nobody is saying that fish keep evolving into crabs.
- moron4hire 3y agoNobody? GP said "While every animal seems to eventually become like a crab...". That's not nobody. I think you'll find a lot of people online who have gotten the "crustacean carcinisation" idea wrong and think it applies to all animals.
- RajT88 3y agoFine, fine - I will clarify so as not to get dinged by the pedants. Nobody in the scientific community is saying that fish keep evolving into crabs.

- victorbjorklund 3y agoWhy you think rust is so populare?!

- Viliam1234 3y agookay then... Nobody in the scientific community except humans is saying that fish keep evolving into crabs.
- PakG1 3y agoWell, the joke was about whether humans keep evolving into crabs, but I think I crashed the joke's landing. :)
- eszed 3y agoI think you'll find there's no such thing as a fish. Source: Pedant.

- hinkley 3y agoGiven the right spacing of keys, I suspect a crab could manage a pretty high wpm rating. Assuming the brain could keep up of course. Sort of like tap dancing on the FAO Schwartz piano (Big), but with six legs per creature instead of two.

- marcosdumay 3y agoIt's a popular over-generalization, made purposefully for humor.
- AlienRobot 3y agoThey aren't crabs yet, but they might be, in a billion years.
