Description

The best way to learn it is to draw it.

The phylogeny of placental mammals. This was combined from multiple sources, and I'm not sure if the placement of some taxa (Tubulidentata, Scandentia etc.) reflects the latest consensus. The general idea, however, should be right.

The silhouettes are Public domain and Creative Common images from the wonderful Phylopic ([link]), made by Steven Traver, Davir Orr, T. Michael Keesey, Mateus Zica and Mo Hassan.

Edited 31.12.2012: Fixed the leaf that made Rodentia look polyphyletic.

Beautiful tree, I love it ! 
There is a tiny mistake in one label : "eulipotyphla" should read "eulipotyphla". In case you ever want to comem back to this drawing :-)
