Atlantogenata ("born around the Atlantic Ocean")[2] is a proposed clade (magnorder) of placental mammals containing the cohorts or superorders Xenarthra and Afrotheria.
[1] These groups originated and radiated in the South American and African continents, respectively, presumably in the Cretaceous.
[5] Updated analysis of transposable element insertions around the time of divergence strongly supports the fourth hypothesis of a near-concomitant origin (trifurcation) of the three superorders of mammals: Afrotheria, Boreoeutheria, and Xenarthra.
