Describe the evolution of mammals and the major groups of living mammals.
Discuss the traits in the body (not head/skull) that define Primates and set them apart from other mammal groups.
Mammals belong to a group of amniotes known as synapsids. Three major lineages of mammals had emerged by the early Cretaceous period. In a tabulated form, compare these three lineages to illustrate their diversity in terms of: a. Embryonic developmen, b. How the young are fed and c. Period of gestation
