Research Abstract

The polyphyletic characters were functional-morphologically examined in the insectivores. The musculoskeletal, digestive, urogenital, sensory and skin systems were morphologically compared among various orders within the Insectivora. The morphological similarities and differences in each system were confirmed to establish the polypheletic evolutionary history among Eulipotyphla, Dermoptera, Scandentia and Afrosoricida.
