An Interesting Look At Evolution

"A new study challenges the idea that marsupials are more 'primitive' than mammals by showing their development has changed more than mammals since they last shared an ancestor.

"'For a long time, people have treated marsupials as 'lesser mammals,' which represent the intermediate stage between placental mammals and egg-layers,' explains evolutionary biologist Anjali Goswami from the Natural History Museum in the UK.

"'It turns out that marsupials are the ones that are far more evolved from the ancestral form.'"
