"Most evolved" doesn't really have any meaning in evolutionary theory. All species have been evolving to better adapt to their environments since life came to exist. Therefore, all species are equally evolved. The fact that the horseshoe crab hasn't changed much in a long time only means that the crab's environment remains more or less the same as it did when the species' characteristics first evolved. If the horseshoe crab's environment changed and it evolved to become a single-celled organism to adapt, it would not be "less evolved". It would be more evolved. IIRC, goldfish have 96 chromosomes. That doesn't make them "more evolved" or more complex than humans. It just means that goldfish have a lot of chromosomes. [[User:Gregory|Gregory]] 16:05, 9 November 2008 (EST)
