This most definitely requires documentation, We want to see just how much you know about
paraphilia.
Paraphilia is a term used to describe a persistent and intense sexual interest in atypical objects, situations, people, or behaviors. It's also known as a sexual deviation.
Paraphilia is different from a normal sexual interest, but the definition of what's normal or atypical is controversial. Some paraphilias, like sadism, masochism, fetishism, or pedophilia, are considered socially unacceptable.
A paraphilic disorder is a paraphilia that causes significant distress or impairment to the individual or poses a risk to others. People with a paraphilic disorder may have difficulty developing personal and sexual relationships.
Some experts believe that childhood trauma, such as sexual abuse, may cause paraphilia. Others suggest that objects or situations can become sexually arousing if they are repeatedly associated with a pleasurable sexual activity.
My conclusion, and you seem to have figured this out too, is the intended word was "paraphyletic". To me this illustrates the sort of ignorance, trivial information gathering ability and superficial interest that I see as another defining set of characters for the group I call "belief-based deniers".
They don't know and understand enough to achieve even the most flimsy argument based on a superficial review of a Google search.
A reasonable basic knowledge and interest is required to make a Google search or any search meaningful.
A paraphyletic group contains organism with a shared common ancestry, but it does not contain all the descendants of that ancestry. There is no evidence that species evolve in and out of these groups. This conclusion most likely arises from a misunderstanding of taxonomy and the evidence used to determine whether a species is a member of the group or not. Ignorance seems to be leading to the false conclusion that an artifact of taxonomy is a fact of phylogeny.
Until the latter part of the 20th Century, taxonomists were largely limited to morphology, ecology, breeding studies and species concepts as the basis of the taxonomies proposed. In the case of most invertebrates, the species concept is the morphospecies concept based on morphological features.
Since the advent of advanced computation, genetics and molecular biology applied in taxonomy, taxonomists now have greater information available to make the connections and determine the monophyly of species and species groups. In many cases these "new" techniques have supported the existing higher taxa. It is at the species, generic or tribal level where there has been the most sorting taking place.
These techniques allow a much deeper look at the genetic backgrounds and relationships of the species being examined. Such things as convergent evolution and morphological divergence can be recognized, more readily defined on evidence and better used to learn the ancestry of species with better placement within existing groups or recognition of new, independent groups.
In any case, it is recognizable as evidence of how little literalist creationist science deniers understand the material they seek to upend.
