#Marsupials might be the more evolved #mammals
By estimating how the common ancestor of mammals reproduced and developed, scientists have turned over the longstanding belief that marsupials are more primitive than #placentals. New research has revealed that the ancestor of both groups was more similar to placentals than to marsupials, meaning that marsupials have modified their method of reproduction more than placentals have. https://phys.org/news/2023-05-marsupials-evolved-mammals.html #evolution
