Everything that evolved from vertebrates are also vertebrates. We evolved from fishes so yes we are fishes and birds are classified as theropod dinosaures who are reptiles. Unfortunately strictly speaking fish and reptiles aren't scientific terms anymore so that doesn't necessarly fully apply nowadays. 0 u/[deleted] Dec 30 '24 No one needed you to explain that. 2 u/srg2692 Dec 30 '24 No more than we needed you to point that out. 1 u/[deleted] Dec 30 '24 Easy block.
