Not Sure This Is Better Than An Ape...
Some researchers have discovered that we (and all other placental mammals) are descended from an aardvark-like creature.
The scientists said that the common ancestor probably belonged to a mammalian ?super order? known as Afrotheria, which includes the aardvark and both species of elephant.
Kind of makes me peckish for some ants.
