Carl Sagan used this crab as example of artificial selection.
'Heikegani' is a species of crab native to Japan, with a shell that bears a pattern resembling a human face. Legend says the Heikegani crabs contain the souls of the Heike Samurai Warriors who were killed at the Battle of Dan-no-ura in 1185 ADpic.twitter.com/POrmzcGvmN

best example of artificial selection.
-
Could be argued that it’s actually natural selection, seeing as the fishermen weren’t breeding them consciously.
-
Had it been mother nature instead of those fishermen, the case would have been so.
-
Humans are part of nature though?
