Revisiting the brain anatomy of the early Oligocene eutherian mammal Leptictis based on virtual endocasts
Leptictidae are an extinct early Cenozoic group of mammals that has been challenging to place phylogenetically within Eutheria. They have been considered closely related to various crown placental groups such as Lipotyphla, Macroscelidea, or Euarchontoglires based on their “insectivore-grade” features, or as very early...
