Lemur diversity gene study
Orkin et al 2024 reported,
“Within the past 2,000 years, lemurs underwent major declines in effective population size that corresponded to the timing of human population expansion in Madagascar. In multiple regions of the island, we identified chronological trajectories of inbreeding that are consistent across genera and species, suggesting localized effects of human activity. Our results show how the extraordinary diversity of these long-neglected, endangered primates has been influenced by ecological and anthropogenic factors.”

Actually when Madagascar became an island
it became a Cenozoic refugium for lemurs, a clade of basal-most primates that once spread across North America and probably the rest of the world during the Cretaceous. Maybe earlier. Lemurs are basal to bats and tree shrews, hedgehogs, moles and shrews… as well as the odd taxa leading to Stylinodon.
Talk about “extraordinary diversity”…
Add taxa to your own cladogram to find this out for yourself.
