      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.

    Just because your general body shape did not change does not mean you did not evolve.

        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!

      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.

      Apart this Horseshoe crabs are not crabs it’s a own species, nearest related to spiders and scorpions. They are raised since 1970 on sea farms as blood donors, which are taken a little out before freeing the animal again. Their blood (blue) is unique, because it contains a compound that detects the slightest bacterial contamination in medications and vaccines.
      It’s important in medicine and Pharma industry, which also as collateral effect had avoided the extiction of this animal, which before was in a real risk.
