Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that snakes evolved from lizards?

Yes. A children's reference book states that most scientists believe snakes evolved from lizards, supported by fossil study and similar skull structure. A peer-reviewed phylogenetic study also describes snakes as having evolved from lizards, though it places their nearest relatives among mosasauroids.
