    Why aren’t these things considered Trilobites exactly? They look like Trilobites and I’m pretty sure they fill some of the same general niches? Is it just a taxonomical thing? Are they just not in the right clade?

    When humanity found out how long horseshoes crabs had been around, unchanging and perfect, they decided to name their divine human leaders after them.

    That is why royalty are called ‘blue-bloods’.

      I was taught it was because nobility were the only pale Spaniards in the middle ages, so they were the only people whose skin showed through the blue color of the veins. So they claimed their blue blood showed their divine right to royalty.
