Afrotheria (/ æ f r oʊ ˈ θ ɪər i ə / from Latin Afro-"of Africa" + theria "wild beast") is a superorder of mammals, the living members of which belong to groups that are either currently living in Africa or of African origin: golden moles, elephant shrews (also known as sengis), otter shrews, tenrecs, aardvarks, hyraxes ...
Die Afrotheria sind eine molekulargenetisch festgelegte Überordnung innerhalb der Unterklasse der höheren Säugetiere. Sie umfassen rund 90 Arten. Der äußerlich recht inhomogen anmutenden Gruppe ist die stammesgeschichtliche Herkunft aus Afrika gemeinsam.
14. März 2022 · A time-calibrated phylogeny for the major groups of placental mammals (Afrotheria, Xenarthra, Euarchontoglires, Laurasiatheria) and the major clades of Afrotheria. The six extant orders of Afrotheria are Sirenia, Proboscidea, Hyracoidea, Afrosoricida, Macroscelidea, and Tubulidentata. Divergence times are from
The Afrotheria represents one of the major mammalian evolutionary radiations. By one count, the seven groups that make up the Afrotheria represent nearly a third of all the living orders of mammals. However, they only contribute about 80 of the 1260 or so species of mammals found in Africa and Madagascar. This means that with relatively few ...
25. März 2008 · Abstract. 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 ...

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.
2. Jan. 2001 · Afrotheria is one of the most remarkable hypotheses in mammal evolution. It suggests that one-third of the orders of placental mammals form an ancient group that evolved on Africa when that continent was isolated from others through plate tectonics ( 1 ).
