Traditionally the amphibians have included all tetrapods that are not amniotes. They are divided into three subclasses, of which two are only known as extinct subclasses: * Subclass Labyrinthodontia (diverse Paleozoic and early Mesozoic group) * Subclass Lepospondyli (small Paleozoic group) * Subclass Lissamphibia (frogs, toads, salamanders, newts, etc.)

Amphibians are always cold-blooded. They hatch from eggs and go through metamorphosis. They start as tadpoles in the water and change into adults that live on land.

How would you describe the evolution of amphibians?

It begins with rhipidistian lungfish of the orodivician, and progresses to sarcopterygian lungfish of the silurian. By the devonian there is a "fishapod" known as Tiktaalik. In the carboniferous we find acanthostega and a variety of other amphibians. Finally, in the permian, we discover pelycosaurs and sail backed reptiles--creatures similar in form to the earlier amphibians, but which we do not classify as amphibians. From there terrestrial vertebrate evolution takes off into the triassic with lots of speciation.
