[edit] Mammal or Reptile?

What are they closely related to? --68.97.69.115 00:12, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

Closely related to mammals (mammals evolved from them, specifically). No mammal-like "reptiles" are actually true reptiles, but synapsids. Both synapsids and reptiles evolved from a common ancestor, not one from the other, though synapsids are often called (incorrectly) reptiles anyway.Dinoguy2 03:01, 21 April 2006 (UTC)
