      ‘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.
