You’re seriously splitting hairs about lineage when you know humans are obviously not fish.

A species can not evolve out of a clade. I am not splitting hairs, I am simply accepting cladistics classification as valid.

Obviously you are not, since fish are not considered a monophyletic group.

Bony fish (Osteichthyes) is monophyletic.
