Primary cladistic study of basal perissodactyls and historically broad Hyracotherium assignments; several named group placements remain analysis-dependent.
Claim ledger
topology · mediumA cladistic analysis of basal perissodactyls includes ancylopods among the sampled early branches and tests their relationship to tapiromorph and hippomorph taxa; their placement is a character-matrix hypothesis, not a direct-ancestor or global-range statement.
