Arthropod Intelligence

Athropod Intelligence
==After the oxygen event of 430,000 million years ago, Arthropods became the most abundent animal in the world. They began to evolve into diverse spieces, with some becoming more intelligent, with their main prey, fish and amphibians, staying up to their "normal" state for the past 250,000 million years. The current and most intelligent of the the Arthopods is the speices, the Arthrhoem stands up to 3 metres tall (9.8 feet), and wieghs up to the world record 803 Kg (1766.6 lbs). They evolved 320,000 thousand years ago and over the years they evolved their langauge (a series of high piched clicks and vibrations from the mouth part) philosophy and culture. Clothes were not needed and made until 100,000 years ago,due to their ability to hold in heat, and their protected armor. They do not need to have an exoskeleton (even though they have armor on the back of their abdomens and front of their thorax) so they have no need to moult to grow.==

Early History 430,000-250,000 million years ago
430,000 million years ago, a large influx of oxygen from large plantation growth promted Eurypterids and other Arthropods to turn to the land, while their pray, early fish, stayed to the water for the next 100,000 million years. This, and the evolution of a larger and more complex brain, led them to get a foothold in the early Earth. During this time, arthropods evolved to enormous sizes, the largest being the Euryperdis Arthidorph, growing up to the record size of any animal of 10 metres tall, and 60 metres long, and is the forunner of millipedes. Due to the abundency of the arthropods during this period, they evolved at a faster rate than their new enemies, the

amphibians. The amphibans were only carnivores rather than the omnivorous arthopods, that made them more adaptable to the large forrests, which held both animals (which where are in low abundence) and plant life. This helped them to spread throughout the world, exept the Artic and Antartica. Also in this period they arthropods began to mate in a common way, lining back to back, and the sperm being injected into the opposite sex by a needle like apendage directly into the newly developed egg chamber, where the offspring would be born inside the mother, then be excreted out of the hole that was puntured by the male.

Carboniferious Era 250,000-80,000 million years ago
After a series of large volcanic eruptions, carbon poured into the atmosphere and the arthropods had to shrink in size to accomodate the thinner oxygen levels, with the largest growing to only 80 centremetres in length. This was the only ers in history in which insects and arthropods were brought to the brink of extintion, all due to the carbon in the air. During this period, a large amount of Eurypterids evolved to become more intelligent than any other animal on Earth. Also during this period, mammals (animals covered with hair and the ability to give birth to live animals without incubation) evolved from the now larger and more diverse reptiles. They like the athropods kept heat in their bodies by hair (exoskeleton for arthropods). Even though they were brought to the edge of extintion, the arthropods and eurypterids remained the most intelligent spieces and an abundent type of animal for the rest of history up to present day. Only till 120,000 million years ago did the oxygen levels begin to rise and the next phase of the athropods would begin. This was 90,000 million years to the end of the era, and it was the second boom of arthropods, with more inteligent spieces evolving in this time period, with the most intelligent spieces being as intelligent as the modern eurypterids spieces Heidae Eurytherio minor.
