: Jackals didn't descend from any earth species. They don't have a common
: ancestor with anything on earth. Unless this common ancestor was some
: spore, something pre-bacteria/archea/viral. If this was the case they
: still wouldn't be members of any of those categories (clades) because
: those clades are derived from the, supposed, common ancestor-spore-thingy.
: A simple tree (that assumes common ancestry) would be: spore-thingy

: |- lots of things that we don't know about -> jackals

: |- eukaryotes -> metazoa -> amniotes -> sauropsids
: jackals are not sauropsids
So, what you're saying above is that the only way Jackals could be related to anything on earth is if they were descended from a spore that spread through panspermia? Doesn't that make them like our father's brother's nephew's cousin's former roommate?
