Ancient scorpion had feet, may have walked out of ocean - so goes the titled of this news story

Ancient scorpion had feet

And after 438 million years, think of it, a scorpion is still a scorpion - Shouldn't it have built a airliner or wrote a novel yet?

Seriously though, if evolution is a God guided process, or he wound up the clock and knew the outcome then it stands to reason that the scorpion didn't evolve into a sentient being. Also what were the selective pressures, maybe it was so adapted to it's environment it never changed.

There are more scorpions than there are of us, and they'll still be around most likely when the last humans
are only to be found in the lithosphere.

Cant argue with success, they say.
