Evolution has a weird obsession with crabs. At least five separate times, nature has taken some random crustacean and said “you know what would work better? A crab.” But it’s not just crabs - evolution keeps reinventing the same solutions everywhere. Trees evolved independently more than 40 times.

They’re proof that good design is inevitable. ...
