The term sister group is used in phylogenetic analysis, however, only groups identified in the analysis are labeled as "sister groups".. An example is birds, whose commonly cited living sister group is the crocodiles, but that is true only when discussing extant organisms; [3] [4] when other, extinct groups are considered, the relationship between birds and crocodiles appears distant.
The crown age of a clade refers to the age of the most recent common ancestor of all of the species in the clade. The stem age of a clade refers to the time that the ancestral lineage of the clade diverged from its sister clade. A clade's stem age is either the same as or older than its crown age. [15] Ages of clades cannot be directly observed.
Clade T is a total group or pan-group, its extant species organized into crown groups C1 and C2.Within clade T are sister clades T1 and C2. Clade T1 is composed of crown group C1 and the stem group S1 which is the set of extinct species that are closer to C1 than any other crown group of extant species.

Overall, studies using mitochondrial DNA have tended to group them as a sister clade to Ferungulata (carnivorans+ungulates+pholidotans), while studies using nuclear DNA have identified them as 1) a sister clade to Afrotheria, 2) a sister clade to all placentals except Afrotheria, or 3) a trichotomy (three-way split): Afrotheria, Xenarthra, and ...
