Amniotes developed the amniotic egg, which allowed vertebrates to reproduce on land. This was a critical adaptation that led to the evolution of reptiles, birds, and mammals.
Synapsids are a group of amniotes with a single opening in the skull behind each eye. This allowed for stronger jaw muscles, setting the foundation for mammals.
Cynodonts had fur, differentiated teeth, and likely warm-blooded traits. They are considered direct ancestors of mammals.
Miacids were small, tree-dwelling mammals and the ancestors of today’s carnivores, including dogs and wolves.
