Continuing Silver Lake's modern lineage, as the couple and their architect hoped to do, would require a new approach to design and construction.

A systematic list, from the most ancient to the most modern lineages, can thus be given as:

Multiple ancient and many modern lineages use Conn as their progenitor for multiple Irish and Scottish families.

Best known are the labyrinthodont fossils, as the period coincides with the time where the modern lineages of tetrapods are thought to have evolved.

They belong to a more modern lineage than Saxicolinae.

The following list arranges of superfamilies in evolutionary sequence, from the most ancient to the most modern lineage:

Evidence from fossils and DNA sequencing show both species of chimpanzees are the sister group to the modern human lineage.

Dynamic dichromatism is present in mostly modern lineages of 32 species of anurans.

Many pre-Tertiary mammals do not have exact analogs to modern lineages.

In other words, H. floresiensis share a common ancestor with modern humans, but split from the modern human lineage and followed a different evolutionary path.
