Please add this somewhere:

In the everyday sense, humans are not fish we are land-dwelling mammals, we breathe air with lungs, and we do not have fins or gills. But evolution makes the word “fish” messier than it first appears. Humans are tetrapods, and tetrapods evolved from lobe-finned fishes. If “fish” is used in a strict cladistic sense to include all descendants of those fish ancestors, then humans are technically nested inside the fish lineage. So humans are not fish in the ordinary sense, but in an evolutionary sense, we are highly modified descendants of fish, the fish that learned to walk, breathe air, and eventually argue about taxonomy on the internet. ~2026-19057-33 (talk) 13:48, 18 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]
