Journal of Biosciences. 2009 Nov; 34(5): 649-659.http://imsear.searo.who.int/handle/123456789/161358This paper presents a brief review of recent advances in the classifi cation of mammals at higher levels using fossils and molecular clocks. It also discusses latest fossil discoveries from the Cretaceous – Eocene (66–55 m.y.) rocks of India and their relevance to our current understanding of placental mammal origins and diversifi cations.enArticle
