Numerous molecular and genomic studies
- The supraordinal mammalian clade Afrotheria was first recognized in its entirety based on DNA analysis dating to the mid-1990s. Since then, this “African clade”, which includes proboscideans, sirenians, hyracoids, tubulidentates, elephant-shrews, tenrecs and chrysochlorids, has been supported by numerous molecular and genomic studies.

Jun 1, 2024 · Molecular investigations have gathered a diverse set of mammals—predominantly African natives like elephants, hyraxes, and aardvarks—into a clade known as Afrotheria. Nevertheless, the precise phylogenetic relationships among these species remain contentious.
Nov 13, 2007 · Instability in afrotherian interordinal phylogeny presumably reflects rapid divergences during two pulses of cladogenesis - the first in the Late Cretaceous, at and just after the origin of crown Afrotheria, and the second in the early Cenozoic, with the origin of crown Paenungulata.
