Molecular fossils. Studying the DNA of the Afrotheria gets around this problem because we don't have to know how they are related more broadly to other placental mammal groups.

These includes elephants, aardvarks, and others from a group that originated in Africa, known as the Afrotheria. Testicles function best when slightly below body temperature.

Afrotheria are an excellent case to study evolutionary changes in size through time as they vary so much in body mass: from the five ton elephant to a few grams in some tenrecs.
