Description:
New phylogenies were recently proposed by White and Harris, who recognized 7 genera and 16 species of fossil and extant suids from sub-Saharan Africa. This scheme is regarded here as oversimplified and an alternative is suggested, in which 9 genera and 21 species are recognized. The taxonomic and phylogenetic differences do not have any significant effect on the stratigraphic interpretations offered by White and Harris.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Cooke, H B -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1978 Aug 4;201(4354):460-3.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/96530" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
