Thus to express the common ancestry of birds and crocodilians , these groups might be ranked as , say , orders within a subclass of the class Reptilia . Such a classification would reflect the branching order of evolution by stressing ...

To use an absurd example , birds appear earlier in the fossil record ( Jurassic ) than do snakes ( Cretaceous ) , but this does not mean that all the features of birds are more primitive than those of snakes , nor that snakes are ...
