[edit] Atlantogenata vs Laurasiatheria
I just rewrote the page to reflect paleontological views on meridiungulate relationships. There's no evidence from morphology that meridiungulates are related to Xenarthra. Until there's DNA, theres no molecular evidence period. Linking meriungulates with xenarthrans might be convenient for some molecular phylogeneticists since it would support their biogeographic ideas, but there's really no evidence for it at all. But.... notoungulates and litopterns did survive until a few thousand years ago, so DNA may be coming. Until then, morphology is the only option. Helioseus 21:27, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
