		Support is very strong for a fundamental division of the mole rats of the subfamilies Spalacinae and Rhizomyinae from all other muroids.
		They found that the mole-rat subfamilies (Spalacinae and Rhizomyinae) were the sister group to all other muroids, but they were unable to resolve the branching pattern, among most of the remaining subfamilies and speculated that robust resolution may never be achieved.
		The major results include the deep division between the mole-rat subfamilies (Spalacinae and Rhizomyinae) and the remaining core members of the Muroidea.

	THE IDENTITY OF TLK'S "GOPHER"
		And no mole species has prominent rodent-type front teeth (moles are more closely related to shrews and hedgehogs).
		It is most likely that the unnamed tunneling animal in TLK is either a mole rat (family Bathyergidae, 9 species in 5 genera) or a root rat (subfamily Rhizomyinae, genus Tachyoryctes, 2 species).
		Both these types of animals are native to sub-Saharan Africa, are about the size and shape of gophers, have very prominent gnawing incisors, dig extensive underground tunnels, and have visible (though very small) eyes.
