Golden moles and tenrecs are therefore more closely related to aardvarks and elephants than they are to shrews, moles, and hedgehogs. Because this African clade is well supported both from a statistical and congruence perspective but is not currently recognized taxonomically, we propose the superordinal name Afrotheria.

1998, Michael J. Stanhope et al., "Molecular Evidence for Multiple Origins of Insectivora and for a New Order of Endemic African Insectivore Mammals", Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, volume 95, page 9971

The basal split is between Afrotheria and other placentals, at about 103 million years, and may be accounted for by the separation of South America and Africa in the Cretaceous.

head

Likewise, Richard Leakey himself is of the opinion that all Australopitheci were not habitual upright walkers.

1979 October 24, W. Mehlert, “The Australopithecines and (Alleged) Early Man”, in Harold L. Armstrong, editor, Creation Research Society Quarterly, volume 17, number 1 (in English), Ann Arbor, Mich.: Creation Research Society, published 1980 June, page 24, column 1:

Do we have to see in this making of tools only a particular adaptation, analogous, for example, to birds making nests? Or are degrees of intelligence and significant consciousness already present in certain types of Australopitheci?

2000, Bernard Michollet, “Evolution and Anthropology. Human Beings as the ‘Image of God’”, in Bas van Iersel, Christoph Theobald, Hermann Häring, editors, Evolution and Faith (Concilium; 2000/1) (in English), London: SCM Press, →ISBN, section III (The Dialogue with Faith and Theology), page 81:

Australopithecus was probably already adapted for bipedal walking, but its brain was not much larger than a chimp’s, so there was still a lot of obstetric leeway. The pelvis was now a different shape, however, and we think that baby Australopitheci may have been born with their head ‘sideways’ relative to their mother’s body, with their nose pointing towards their mother’s left or right hip.
