sydbarrett74, Ernsts added a link to the SA article and I added a paragraph to the lead to update this article. The last section is untouched for now, but I've left a big cleanup box for anyone who wants to take it. --Artoria 2e5 🌉 07:34, 4 November 2021 (UTC)Reply

Thank you! BTW, it seems as 'mammals' might have to be replaced by 'placentals' as monotremata may show same chromosome design as reptiles. Kind regards! --Ernsts (talk) 10:48, 4 November 2021 (UTC)Reply
