well in wikipedia its a subgroup of chordata
Chordata is everything with a backbone
vertebrates are everything with a backbone
and if you actually go up the grouping mamals on wikipedia
we are clasified as lobed fin fishes
tf?
well im not quoting Wikipedia here, im quoting my 9th grade shitty textbook lol
Wow it's almost as if you can't get proper species ideas from randomly clicking Wikipedia links

your text book probably used taxonomic/lineaen clasification
probably yeah
it talked about ten phyla
and then expounded upon and explained the superclasses in the chordata phylum
i think wikipedia uses phylogenic clasification for most of it
@dumblebore 🌈 chordate have a nerve cord. I might have gotten that confused with backbone
Your textbooks are good and right
its relative
yeah you'd said backbone lol @I-VaPE-ChEMtrAiLS
im pretty terrible with science though, don't have really much to say about it
vertibrate
*coughs* kevin *coughs violently*
true
@Σ5 look up NZ native birds and how they filled mammal niches and the general idea of "species concepts"
I think you'll like that kind of stuff
The kind of pointless but intersting zoology things
first thing that came up on google was a book
Species Concepts and Phylogenetic Theory
phylogenic clasification cannot apply to microbes
too much genetic exchange
What is a species by brainscoop might be a good entry level video
there are difrent deffinitions of species
the main one i usualy use is that 2 creatures are the same species if they are geneticly compatable without substantial isues
with a half half mix
So lions and tigers are the same species in that one
Hybridisation is a factor
All of them have issues
All of them are arbitrary
