Why do crabs keep evolving?

 Nature favors the crab!

Do you know that crabs or crab-like animals have evolved at least 5 separate times?

According to reports, the crab shape, like you can see above, is very efficient and is well suited to survival in the earth's oceans. Perhaps you know that according to science, different animals change over time to better fit into their environment. If they have features that allow them to survive better, then they will likely live longer and have more children. This is the process of evolution. In the case of crabs, their unique shape seems to be very well-suited to survival, which is why scientists have discovered that different varieties of crustaceans, animals like shrimp, crabs and lobsters, have evolved into crabs five separate times in the history of our planet. this process of separately evolving into crab shape so often in nature is called; carcinization. This fact has creeped some people out. Many people on the internet have claimed that the fact that the crab shape is favored by nature makes them feel strange and uncomfortable. This is partly a joke and has led to the creation of the crab meme. What do you think?
