Drosophila suzukii

of African origin, including elephants, hyraxes, dugongs and manatees, elephant shrews, and aardvarks. Initially greeted with deep skepticism, if not outright disbelief, this assemblage — named Afrotheria — and its shared evolutionary history is now widely accepted, and an overwhelming amount of genomic data as well as numerous other lines of supportive evidence have since been adduced. Long regarded as unmodified primitive holdovers from an ancestral mammal stock, tenrecs are now regarded as the successful result of millions of years of evolutionary experimentation.
