The oldest octopus fossil, which is 296 million years old, and pre-dates the dinosaurs.
The way things are going, this species will post-date humanity as well.

I follow back, and really appreciate boosts

@rogward Just think, that's about 150,000,000 - or more - generations of octopuses.

We humans have only had about 15,000 generations since 'early modern humans' evolved.

Maybe we should learn a bit more from them - if they'd teach us - rather than dismissing or 😔 eating them!
