By that definition I would be the same individual as my Mom, since otherwise my Mom would be a Paraphlytic group.
And what about a SPECIES I'm descended from?* Are they either Homo Sapiens or not a real Species? Cause I'm descended from something like Dimetrodon if you go back far enough.
*(Cause God's way of creating species is Evolution)
If you don't understand any of this, thank your lucky stars. It's just false science based on a massive misinterpretation of the Theory of Evolution being forced on real scientists by the Big Media Scientist Club.
+Since one website I found gives a different answer, here is the generally accepted definition of
'paraphlytic': descended from a common ancestor, but not including ALL descendents of
the group. Really, though, if you didn't know that, don't worry- this message is not for
you. You don't need a fancy scientific name to use common sense.
#And now they won't even TEACH us about creatures if they're only members of paraphlytic groups!
They're withholding information from us!!!!!
We have a right to know!!!!! WE HAVE A RIGHT TO LEARN SCIENCE!!!!!!!!
YOU HEAR THAT, BIG MEDIA SCIENTIST CLUB? WE HAVE A RIGHT TO LEARN SCIENCE!!!!!!!!!!!!
But we can't. Not anymore. Fuck.
Good thing I completed 'Before the Dinosaurs' when I still could!
