    Not exactly. Humans, birds, and reptiles are all within the phylum chordata, while arachnids and insects are both within the phylum arthropoda.

    But all fish, no matter which classification you use, are also part of the phylum chordata, just like reptiles, birds and mammals. @mech@feddit.orgs statement still holds true.

      It took me a bit to understand what you mean, but I get it now! I was looking at it from the perspective of them being quite similar, but they are as different, aren’t they?
