mostly demonstrated by the clustering pattern in the
phylogenetic tree and relatively shorter divergence
time (Fan et al., 2013).

Conclusions
The evidence of whole genomic sequencing data
basically quelled an ongoing controversy regarding
the phylogenetic placement of tree shrews. The tree
shrews are relative primitive small mammals in the
Order Scandentia in Euarchontoglires, with a close
genetic relationship to primates.
