Carinatae has been phylogenetically defined as the most recent common
ancestor of *Ichthyornis dispar* (who Clarke is working on resolving the
material for, bless her soul) and Neornithes. Neornithes is the crown

Little steps are often the hardest to take. We are too used to making leaps
in the face of adversity, that a simple skip is so hard to do. We should all
learn to walk soft, walk small, see the world around us rather than zoom by it.
