Crabs with.....human faces
      #4955334 - 03/05/06 03:03 AM

So I was just watching something on the discovery channel..and there was a science show on and this guy was explaining evolution and natural (and artificial) selection.

the talked about a crab off of Japan(I think...can't remember)..and on the underside of them, they have what looks like a angry (samurai) face...

he said that over the past 800+ years, fisherman around there had been throwing these crabs with faces back into the water..and eating other ones..and said that this selection over time made these crabs hold this "facial" feature due to selection.

he also said that they have a uniquely samurai face..since the reason they throw the crabs back is because of some battle that happened and legend and such..

I'd never heard this before and I found it very interesting..have any of you ever heard of this story?

also..this might just be a shoddy program...(seemed to be a few years back from the narrator's haircut )

so is there any other explaination for this?
If the first crab with this feature only had a slight image of a face..how likely is it that it was taken to look like a face...

I guess these fisherman were more likely to throw them back if they looked like they had faces..and even more likely to throw them back if the face looked distinctly like a samurai
also jsut thought anyone who hasn't heard this might find it interesting..and I know MOST of this forum appreciates this type of thing

peace easy yall

Truly, the only reason to my avatar was to counter godboy's one. But, otoh, I am starting to like mine now.

I saw it too. The show was Cosmos, and "that guy" was Carl Sagan.

How has the peacock survived with a massive target strapped to it's butt.
All these ideas are just so unsatisfying for me, but I didn't see the show..
Isn't it just possible that with the vast amount of weird looking creatures on the planet, one was bound to have a face on it. Or at least something that resembles a face..
