Why did everyone lie to me as a kid when they told me birds weren't reptiles? My middle school biology teacher was a lying bitch who made me feel stupid for calling birds reptiles.
>>5151760The only "true" reptiles alive today are lizards and snakes when you account the fact crocodiles and to an extant turtles are more related to birds than they are to the former.
>>5151761Actually the only true reptile alive today is your hag of a mother
>>5151760because they arent, theyre birds
>>5151760Your middle school biology teacher only cared about teaching people the Linnaean groups and not the evolutionary clades and the relationships between them, since they only wanted to teach you the defining traits of each group learning about cladistics would've made it more confusing than it needed to be.
>>5151761>>5151766This except actually it's the jews
>>5151772.....which fall under the reptile classification
>>5151760You're an idiot. Do you run around telling everyone that trees are bacteria?
>>5151833Cladistics is not science. Nor did it invent classification by descent. That's revisionist history.
>>5151875What are you trying to get at dumbass? Trees don't share a bacterial ancestor with bacteria, they have completely different ancestry
>>5151884By cladistic standards, ALL multicellular organisms are bacteria. Hell most of them are bacteria twice - bacterial colonies with bacteria inside of their cells. If you actually knew anything about what you were talking about you would know that. This is exactly why cladistics is fake science.
>>5151904that's not even true though.
>>5151904>clades hurt my brain because that’s not how I’m used to using those words so they’re not realHunt any witches lately grug?
>>5151904Cladistics is based on evolution, bacteria doesn't just mean single-celled or prokaryote you fucking retard
>>5151914>>5151921>>5151933>Setting midwit shitlibs' tiny pea brains on fire by speaking basic simple truth about their delusional beliefs Works every time. What's weird is that all of you think that animals and plants don't descend from bacteria. That's the strangest thing that you believe out of all of this. Cladistics is still fucking stupid. Claiming you're smart because you just say that anything that comes from something else must still be that thing doesn't actually make you smart. In fact it makes you insane. That's like saying instead of Grandma Johnson being a member of the Johnson family everyone that descends from her is still Grandma Johnson. That's fucking lunacy. But worse it's objectively false. And provably so.
>>5152033you're saying literally nothing
>>5152033>That's like saying instead of Grandma Johnson being a member of the Johnson family everyone that descends from her is still Grandma Johnson. That's fucking lunacy.i agree, because grandma johnson is a specific person, and no one claims that all birds are the same as a specific ancestral species of theirs. your grandma johnson example is analogous to someone saying every bird is an archaeopteryx just because they descend from archaeopteryx (i know they don't, but it's just an example), and funnily enough no one says that, because if they did, they'd be laughed out of the roomsaying all birds are dinosaurs or reptiles or whatever is more directly analogous to claiming that all of grandma johnson's descendants are part of the johnson family, which would obviously be true
>>5152054So now you're going to try to tell me that cladists believe in the family unit? If that's true why do you spend so much time destroying families? By the way that are totally monophyletic, so there's not even actually a good excuse to do it. And yet...As for the rest, you're clearly too stupid and disingenuous to grasp the argument. It's difficult to understand things when you have to spend so much energy lying about what you stand for. You can break this down anyway you want. The Johnson family could be descended from the Smith family but you would say that they were all still the Smiths, which is objectively not correct. Cladists have turned being wrong into a profession. Also it's fucking hilarious that autocorrect keeps trying to call cladists "Cletus".
