Interpretation: Darwin's 'class' is read as the classes his contemporaries used (Cuvier's Règne animal as modified by Owen and Milne-Edwards; de Candolle's three plant classes), not modern monophyletic classes, because the claim says descent embraces 'all the members of the same class' as then delimited: Pisces include cyclostomes, Reptilia include turtles, crocodiles, lizards and snakes but not birds, Acephala include bivalves and tunicates, Insecta include myriapods, Echinodermata include sipunculans and priapulids, Entozoa unite parasitic worms, Acalephae unite jellyfish and comb jellies, Polypi unite corals, hydroids, bryozoans and sponges, Infusoria unite ciliates, flagellates, rotifers and diatoms, Dicotyledones include gymnosperms, and Acotyledones unite ferns, mosses, algae and fungi. 'Embraced by descent with modification' is read as single origin on the genealogy: a paraphyletic class (one origin, nested classes 'lost' from it, e.g. Reptilia relative to Aves) counts as embraced, a polyphyletic class (several origins) does not. Representatives are fixed in advance; the 'independently estimated' genealogy is the Open Tree synthetic tree whose backbone comes mostly from molecular studies."; "Claim test of darwin1859-ch14-01: mixed, confidence 0.6"; ; prov:wasAttributedTo ; "Planned datasets: opentree-synthetic-tree-api"; "claim-test/0.1.0"; "biological"; "Pre-registered: REFUTES if 50% or fewer of the classes (<= 11 of 22) are of single descent.
