Molecular evidence for the early divergence of placental mammals.

BioEssays : news and reviews in molecular, cellular and developmental biology - 1 Dec 1999

Abstract excerpt

Paleontological and molecular data suggest quite different patterns for the early evolution of placental mammals. Paleontological evidence indicates a radiation, with most of the extant orders diverging at approximately the same time, close to the Cretaceous-Tertiary boundary, 65 Myr ago. Molecular evidence suggests a branching pattern of evolution that started much earlier. Resolving this discrepancy requires a...
