Extant flying lemurs? edit

Are the extant flying lemurs linked to in this page the same species/family as those from which primates branched from in the ancient past? I shouldn't think so, but then I have no formal education in this area, nor have I conducted the research. --Gigacannon 20:27, 25 January 2007 (UTC)Reply

I don't fully understand your wording but I'll try to answer this. According to the best data currently available, the flying lemurs (or colugos) are the closest living relatives to the primates. Primates did not evolve from colugos, but the two share a common ancestor. --Aranae 02:18, 26 January 2007 (UTC)Reply

What does Euarchontoglires mean ?? edit

For example , the sigil xxxxx means red hair .
But instead that write xxxxxx means sub category to kingdom and includes , john , marry , kate ....

What i am asking is , what does the word Euarchontoglires mean , not what is its orders name which means nothing unless you know it already and not the names of the individuals in it , fred , jeff , john . What does it mean and in English ?

As for classifying every thing as stone , plant or animal , that is far fetched . Our bones are calcium stone and plants grow in stones , they are stones. Water is hydrogen which is metal at zero kevin . Metallic oxygen Solid_oxygen#Metallic_oxygen .
It is clearly none sense .

Are you asking about the etymology? It literally translates as "true ancestors and dormice", for what that's worth, but it's a compound of pre-existing terms, rather than being directly meaningful in its own right. If you're asking for the definition, I think that's effectively covered in the article. I'm not going to pretend to understand your last question/statement.

Missing links: Urarchontoglires (ur-), the specific forefathers of Euarchontoglires and not generically the Boreoeutheria edit
