    I agree. With same logic:

    • Water is not mercury
    • Water is liquid
    • Liquid is mercury
    • Water is mercury

      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.
