Someone noticed. My urge to get in touch with them to propose a change is gone for some reason.

It seems Horg has a different proposal: www.horg.com/horg/…/HORG_phylogeny_chart.jpg

It could also be a case of convergent evolution, do they occupy the same niches?

My hypothesis is that stomatocardia is actually an offshoot species of toxodenta (though we’d have to do some molecular plastiology research to determine its not the opposite way)

I think we shoukd look at more things in the anthroposcene through a biological lense like this

All I see are under-evolved crabs.

These SCP’s keep getting weirder…

Amazing research. But where to place the clasical clip (two wires in a plastic wrap)?

According to experts, they are in a different phylum…

That’s pretty cool. But who actually uses them I just spin it and put the flap under the loaf.

For the uninitiated.
