RE: Post–K-Pg Radiation of Placentals

["Thomas R. Holtz, Jr." <tholtz@umd.edu>]

One shame about this study is that they were not able to include the earliest 
Late Jurassic Juramaia in the analysis. If it is confirmed as a eutherian, than 
the fact Eomaia falls out as a non-eutherian is irrelevant: Juramaia pulls the 
origins of Eutheria and the eutherian-metatherian split back to the days of 
Anchiornis and Guanlong.
