you haven't studied evolutionary biology at all have you?
genomes and other such evidence tells the story.
correct, to a degree, snakes came from lizards, they even in some species have legs, tiny little vestigial spurs.Sure monkeys have similar traits to humans but snakes did not come from eels. Seagulls did not come from Pterodactyls. Chess did not come from Checkers.
seagulls or gulls (they're not sea birds) came from therapods, the two legged upright dinosaurs, so you are correct there.
chess and checkers are non biological.
