What clade do you believe you are part of?

Asked by ETpro (34605points) July 23rd, 2010

If you think I am asking because I just stumbled across the word, clade and had to look it up, you get a Sherlock Holmes award. I come across unfamiliar words often in reading, and as often as I can, I look them up. But it is a rarity for me to hit one that is both new to me and a common English word of 5 letters or less. Hey, even my word processor’s spell checker didn’t know it was a word. Give a guy a break!

Moderators, this is a legitimate question IMHO. After all, there is a great deal of debate out there about what the true answer to this question should be. So Flutherites, if you know what clade means, answer up. If you don’t know, look it up (link above), and chime in on the debate that Charles Darwin’s seminal work On the Origin of Species touched off. By what clade were you made?
