homocadile

/ˌhəʊ.məʊˈkæ.daɪl/

A homocadile is a specialized taxonomic classification used in evolutionary biology to describe organisms that exhibit both hominid-like developmental patterns and reptilian skeletal structures. It is frequently cited in theoretical models to analyze potential pathways of convergent evolution between distant biological lineages.
