Abstract

The evidence of the latest whole genome sequencing data supported that treeshrews are neither Insectivora nor primate mammals, but they are closely related to primates, and clarified the ongoing controversy regarding the phylogenetic position of tree shrews. It can be said with certainty that treeshrews are small primitive mammals which belong to the Order Scandentia in Euarchontoglires, with a close relationship to primates.
