It's hard for me to compare the two tables with my speach synth... It looks like maybe they split away after the phylum level?
Interesting, everyone does run around saying they are cousins, but I never looked it up. I can say for sure that you won't be able to graft a lobster onto a peach tree, nor a cockroach to a fig.
I tried to ask my inner curmudgeon before posting, but he sprayed me with the garden hose…
Yes, I have squirrels in my brain…

Yeah. That's right. They split off at the phylum level -- that's not very similar. Humans and cats split off at the CLASS level. ;)
Yeah, I know. I'm nittpicky... Don't mean to be. Biology was my major in uni though. lol

No... It's not nittpicky; now we don't have to eat cockroaches in place of lobster.
I majored in English, and now my mind is scrambled.
