Do you keep repeating this because you're still unclear on the subject, or....? Let me give her another go...there's always a way to explain something to someone..no matter how little they wish to have it explained to them.
Those three times you feel a "lineage" came into being...the first three of those creatures - the first steps from the common ancestor to them..they would not have been so entirely dissimilar to each other. They are in fact all "sub lineages" of the common ancestor. We see them as being the root of some tree only because of our place on time. When they emerged, they would have been one-offs...not the ancestors of bunches of tiny branches.....just one species..alone - they would have been branches in the same way that all that came after them was. Or, if you prefer..if we stick around long enough...we'll have to keep added "rungs" to our classification system. Or..if you prefer.."that which we call a rose would smell as sweet"..... Comprende?
