Squirrel!!

• adrian_b 2y ago
  All early arboreal mammals looked like squirrels. However the true squirrels are somewhat more distantly related to us, the tree shrews (Tupaia) are more closely related to us and the mammal described in the parent article is even closer to us in the line of evolution that has generated our ancestors (and the ancestors of apes, monkeys, lemurs and colugos).
