Robber crabs have more in common with humans, which are vertebrates. Sponges are simple organisms that don’t have tissues. Crabs and humans have specialized cells and tissues, bilateral symmetry, and a coelom. According to the phylogenetic tree, vertebrates and arthropods have more nodes, or common ancestors, than crabs have with sponges.
