Carcinisation Beyond Earth: Could Alien Life Take the Form of Crabs?
Keywords:
Speculative evolution, Biology, Astrobiology, Space, Evolution, Aliens, CrabsAbstract
On Earth, crabs have appeared independently across different crustacean groups, highlighting their evolutionary success in a wide range of environments. This repeated emergence suggests that the crab-like body plan offers significant advantages. Could this recurring evolutionary pattern be universal, with alien worlds harbouring their own crabs adapted to extraterrestrial conditions?
