A mitogenomic timetree for Darwin’s enigmatic South American mammal Macrauchenia patachonica

Classification of the extinct South American native ungulates (SANUs) has posed a challenge given the absence of close, surviving relatives. Here, Westburyet al. sequence the mitochondrial genome of the extinct SANU Macrauchenia patachonicaand reconstruct the evolutionary history of the lineage.
