Based on the information provided and typical interpretations of cladograms, the most valid conclusion is:
**humans and lampreys share a common ancestor.**
Cladograms illustrate the evolutionary relationships among species, and if humans and lampreys are shown to branch from a common point, it indicates that they share a common ancestor. The other statements about mammary glands, four limbs, and backbones may not be directly supported by a cladogram without additional context to indicate their respective positions in vertebrate evolution.
