"More recently Reptiliomorpha has been adopted as the term for the largest clade that includes Homo sapiens but not Ascaphus truei ( a primitive frog)" That sounds like nonsense to me. Homo sapiens (Human) is not a reptiliomorph (obviously). Giant Blue Anteater 07:42, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
- Cladistically speaking H. sapiens is. Read up the page on cladistics for more. This is a very different way of classifying and understanding organisms to the old Linnaean taxonomy M Alan Kazlev 21:02, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
- Oh I get it. Just because an animal evolved from a non-amniotic reptiliomorph dosen't mean it's not a reptiliomorph anymore. Giant Blue Anteater 23:55, 20 September 2006 (UTC)
