Sometimes classics are classics for a reason. And by classics I mean crabs 🦀.

The destiny of all species is to eventually become crab.

Why do you think humans have evolved to have less hair than our ancestors? Its the start of a long journey that will eventually being us back to CRABB.

Don't forget trees. There are so many different lineages for trees.

and trains, trains are also a peak of evolution, hopefully we'll get there biologically too someday

Also Mustelids, because Mustelids are hella cute and who can blame nature for wanting to create more cute things?!

I disagree.

Posting the same joke with different meme formats would be the equivalent of convergent evolution.

I think two different meme templates that are used for the same type of joke could be considered the equivalent too. To me it makes more sense to compare a meme template to a species and a particular meme to an individual of a species.

Is this the real life?

Fun fact: Almost every species of jumping spider evolved color vision separately.

Convergent would be two people coincidentally making the same meme

Nature's repost would be gene transfer. Both horizontal and vertical

Plants literally clone themselves

Unless used as a verb, then it's divergent.
