    Not all liquids are, or come from mercury, while all tretapods come from fishes. So that logic doesn’t work.

        ‘Single celled’ is a characteristic, not a lineage. Organisms don’t necessarily have the same characteristics as their ancestors.

          You’re seriously splitting hairs about lineage when you know humans are obviously not fish.

            A species can not evolve out of a clade. I am not splitting hairs, I am simply accepting cladistics classification as valid.

              Obviously you are not, since fish are not considered a monophyletic group.
