Construct a phylogeny for the following Placental Mammals (don’t expand Primates, just treat them as a single branch):
• Primates
• Elephants
• Rodents
• Cats
• Armadillos
• Whales
• Deer
Using the following information:
• Rodents and Primates share a more recent common ancestor with one another than
either does with Deer.
• Cats and Deer share a more recent common ancestor with one another than either does
with Rodents.
• Deer and Whales share a more recent common ancestor with one another than either
does with Cats.
• Cats and Primates share a more recent common ancestor with one another than either
does with Elephants.
• Armadillos and Elephants share a more recent common ancestor with one another than
either does with Cats.
