WHAT DOES EUTHERIAN MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Eutheria

Eutheria is one of two mammalian clades with extant members that diverged in the Early Cretaceous or perhaps the Late Jurassic. The other is the Metatheria, which includes marsupials, most of whom accommodate their neonates in pouches. Except for the Virginia opossum, which is a metatherian, all mammals indigenous to Europe, Africa, Asia, and North America north of Mexico are eutherians. Extant eutherians, their last common ancestor, and all extinct descendants of that ancestor are placentals, in the group Placentalia. Eutherians are distinguished from noneutherians by various features of the feet, ankles, jaws and teeth. One of the major differences between placental and nonplacental eutherians is that placentals lack epipubic bones, which are present in all other fossil and living mammals. The oldest known eutherian species is Juramaia sinensis, dated at 160 million years ago from the Jurassic in China. The name "Eutheria" was introduced by Thomas Henry Huxley in 1880, meant to encompass a more broadly defined group than Placentalia.

Definition of eutherian in the English dictionary

The definition of eutherian in the dictionary is of, relating to, or belonging to the Eutheria, a subclass of mammals all of which have a placenta and reach an advanced state of development before birth. The group includes all mammals except monotremes and marsupials. Other definition of eutherian is any eutherian mammal.
