    Not yet.

    We might see marine animals trend towards dolphins, but given enough time, does a dolphin become a crab, or does a crab become a dolphin?

      Cute comment, but the nerd in me needs you to provide a sauce for making a statement like that. You can’t extrapolate evolution like that, brah

        Which part? Convergent evolution towards a dolphin? (Dolphins and ichthyosaurus) Or the question of Dolphin to Crab or Crab to dolphin?

        We gotta wait another hundred million years to find out that answer.
