Braincase floor shows first mammalian tendencies & first signs of stronger attachment to rest of skull (occiput more strongly attached). Lower jaw shows first changes in jaw musculature (slight coronoid eminence). Body narrower, deeper: vertebral column more strongly constructed. Ilium further enlarged, lower-limb musculature starts to change (prominent fourth trochanter on femur). This animal was more mobile and active. Too late to be a true ancestor, and must be a "cousin".
And your point is what? That an extinct lizard with physiological similarities to mammals that are not "true ancestors" evolved into what?
BTW, if Darwinian evolution is true why don't we see new humanoids evolving now? Or has evolution ceased?
