That’s not how evolution works. Today’s horseshoe crabs may look very similar to their ancestors hundreds of millions of years ago, but that doesn’t mean they didn’t evolve. I know it’s just a meme and not that serious, but misconceptions about evolution seem to be very common and I think that’s a shame.
Apologies for ignorance, but what changed about them? Is it that they’ve been evolving over millions of years, which is why they can survive in today’s world (even though they look the same).
Basically that; I’d imagine their immune systems are more complex nowadays just because the threats are
also some of them got racing stripes
edit:
And then, they went on to get rear spoilers… guns with silencers… blockchain…
The horseshoe crab denied evolution, so we’ve begun to forcefully take their blood sacrifice instead
Considering horses (and thus horseshoes) came way after the horseshoe crab, we really should rename the horseshoe to “crab shoe” or something and “horseshoe crab” to something else. Ideas welcome.
I’m in favour of renaming horses to crab feet.
