First sentence: This book provides a historical-narrative explanation for a number of osteological features of all groups of marsupials, tests a number of group hypotheses against these, and based on the tests, offers what at present appears to be the most plausible phylogeny, an evolutionary history of these animals, albeit in many ways an inadaquate one.
