Scientific American is looking back at its own coverage from 50, 100 and 150 years ago, resurfacing past articles on the possibility of life on Mars and an old debate over moral and legal treatment of crabs. The archive feature pairs space speculation with an unusual animal-welfare question, showing how the magazine's science writing has evolved across a century and a half.
