Proboscidean Evolution

Proboscidean Evolution is a scientific theory that explains the phylogenetic development and morphological diversification of proboscideans within the order Proboscidea during the Cenozoic era, distinguishing it from other vertebrate evolutionary models by focusing specifically on the adaptive radiation, dental progression, and ecological expansion of elephant-like mammals and their extinct relatives.
