2. Elephantidae - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elephantidae

   Phylogeny of recent and Late Pleistocene elephantid species, including Palaeoloxodon and mammoths, showing the hybridisation between African forest elephants and Palaeoloxodon, after Palkopoulou et al. 2018 "Man, and the elephant" plate from Hawkins's A comparative view of the human and animal frame, 1860 Skeleton of Mammuthus meridionalis at ...

3. Primelephas - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Primelephas

   Primelephas is a genus of Elephantinae [1] that existed during the Miocene and Pliocene epochs. The name of the genus suggests 'first elephant'. These primitive elephantids are thought to be the common ancestor of Mammuthus, the mammoths, and the closely allied genera Elephas and Loxodonta, the Asian and African elephants, diverging some 4-6 million years ago. [2]

4. Elephas - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elephas

   Asian elephants share a closer common ancestry with mammoths (genus Mammuthus) than they do with African elephants (Loxodonta). [4] The oldest species attributed to the genus Elephas is E. nawataensis from the Late Miocene-Early Pliocene of Kenya, though the validity of this species and its relationship to Elephas has been doubted. [5]

5. Proboscidea - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proboscidea

   The largest extant proboscidean is the African bush elephant, with a world record of size of 4 m (13.1 ft) at the shoulder and 10.4 t (11.5 short tons). [2] In addition to their enormous size, later proboscideans are distinguished by tusks and long, muscular trunks, which were less developed or absent in early proboscideans.

6. Help:Family trees - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Family_trees

   This page aims to assist Wikipedians working with biographical articles containing family trees. The most common way is to display a family tree on Wikipedia is as an ahnentafel by Template: Ahnentafel. However, there are other options. This page originated in examples taken from a discussion on the Village pump in March/April 2005 (see Talk ...

7. Palaeoloxodon - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palaeoloxodon

   A later study published in 2018 by the same authors based on the complete nuclear genome revised these results, and suggested P. antiquus resulted from reticulate evolution and had a complex hybridization history, with the majority (~60%) of its nuclear genome coming from a lineage more closely related to modern African elephants than to Asian ...

8. Gomphothere - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gomphothere

   They are thought to have chewed differently from modern elephants, using an oblique movement (combining back to front and side to side motion) over the teeth rather than the proal movement (a forwards stroke from the back to the front of the lower jaws) used by modern elephants and stegodontids, [2] with this oblique movement being combined ...

9. Elephantiformes - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elephantiformes

   Elephantiformes is a suborder within the order Proboscidea. [1] Members of this group are primitively characterised by the possession of upper tusks, an elongated mandibular symphysis (the frontmost part of the lower jaw) and lower tusks, and the retraction of the facial region of the skull indicative of the development of a trunk.
