Re: Sauropod Ancestors

I am extremely skeptical of the claim that the prosauropods do
not include the ancestors of the sauropods.  There is a tendency
for cladistic analysis to treat ancestors as a sister group, at
least so it seems to me.

I have seen similar results in cladistic analysis of hominids,
claiming that none of the known fossil species is ancestral to
Homo sapiens!  There cannot be *that* many undiscovered hominids!
