The Edentates - A Hard Nut to Crack in Mammalian Evolution

Robovský J.

Traditional and new views of taxonomic classification and of phylogenetic relations within edentates, also known as xenarthrans (Xenarthra) and some other mammalian orders - pangolins (Pholidota), aardvarks (Tubulidentata), etc. are presented in this article. The author compares morphological and paleontological knowledge with results obtained by current methods in molecular biology in the mammalian group.
