So stuff evolves from other stuff to suit new environments like going from water to dry land to being able to regulate body temperature without sunbathing all the time.
So then, at what point would a mammal thing stop being a mammal and be as different from a mammal as a mammal is to a reptile?
fish->amphibians->reptiles->mammals->????

going by that, when the form of reproduction changes again?

Peculiar properties of spacetime ensure that the perception of the magnitude of Soon is fluid and dependent, not on an individual's time-reference, but on spatial and cultural location. A marketer generally perceives Soon as a finite, known, yet unspeakable time-interval; to a fan, the interval appears greater, and may in fact approach the infinite, becoming Never. Once the interval has passed, however, a certain time-lensing effect seems to occur, and the time-interval becomes vanishingly small. We therefore see the strange result that the same fragment of spacetime may be observed, in quick succession, as Soon, Never, and All Too Quickly.

When someone picks a bunch of arbitrary distinctions between one subset of mammals and another subset of mammals and then a bunch of other people agree that those arbitrary distinctions are exactly the right kind of arbitrary distinctions to be making and they come up with a new name and make everyone learn it so their better-educated friends don't call them stupid.
Well, current understanding of evolution is cladistics. Speciation is where evolution starts and various branches have traits, but you can trace those traits back to where they aro--
You know what. I'll let AronRa field this one.
I've gotta talk to my bank, so I don't have time to find the exact pinpoint video, but here's one and a video list. Dude's pretty good.

But he has a whole playlist of stuff like this. Seen here, so browse around.

He jumps like a damned dragoon, and charges into battle fighting rather insane monsters with little more than his bare hands and rather nasty spell effects conjured up solely through knowledge and the local plantlife. He unerringly knows where his goal lies, he breathes underwater and is untroubled by space travel, seems to have no limits to his actual endurance and favors killing his enemies by driving both boots square into their skull. His agility is unmatched, and his strength legendary, able to fling about a turtle shell big enough to contain a man with enough force to barrel down a near endless path of unfortunates.

Zak S, Zak Smith, Dndwithpornstars, Zak Sabbath. He is a terrible person and a hack at writing and art. His cultural contributions are less than Justin Bieber's, and he's a shitmuffin. Go go gadget Googlebomb!

I fucking love AronRa. That guy has the sexiest voice.

Your freedom to add and change rules in the middle of the game is in direct conflict with my ability to understand that rules system before I decided whether or not to join your game.
In short, your entire post is dismissive of not merely my intelligence, but my agency. And I don't mean agency as a player within one of your games, I mean my agency as a person. You do not want me to be informed when I make the fundamental decisions of deciding whether to join your game or buying your rules system.
Taxonomy is the study of human classifications of animals, not the animals themselves. Something stops being a mammal and starts being something else when human taxonomists declare it to be so.

Thanks, by the way.
