	ANIMAL BYTES - Order Scandentia
		The latter classification stems from physical characteristics shared with Primates such as large brain cases, bony encirclement of eye sockets, the presence of scrotums in males, and the similarity of carotid and subclavian arteries to humans.
		Scandentia is distributed from India and Southwestern China east through the Malay Peninsula in Asia to the islands of Borneo and the Philippines.
		The care of young in Scandentia is unusual in that the female raises her helpless young in a nest separate from her own.

	Tree shrew - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		They make up the family Tupaiidae and the entire order Scandentia.
		Tree shrews have the highest brain to body mass ratio, even higher than human.
		The Euarchonta are sister to the Glires (lagomorphs and rodents), and the two groups are combined into the clade Euarchontoglires.

	Eurasian Insectivores and Tree Shrews - Status Survey and Conservation Action Plan, 1995: Introduction
		The tree shrews (Order Scandentia) constitute a much smaller group of just 19 species, all of which are restricted to South and south-east Asia; it is the best single group for defining the Indo-Malayan Realm.
		A list of current members is included as Appendix V. In addition to providing a forum for expert review and discussion, a crucial role for ITSES is in the development and promotion of conservation projects, as well as the identification of potential funding sources.
		One of the principal objectives of this Action Plan, therefore, is to assess the current status of the Eurasian Insectivora and Scandentia.

	Tree Shrews - Order Scandentia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		For several years, different groups placed the tree shrews in one of these orders.
		Finally, this issue was resolved in 1984 when they were placed in their own order, called Scandentia.
		Some researchers still argue that they are the most primitive of the primates, however.

	Paleocene mammals of the world
		This suggests that the plesiadapiforms were not the direct ancestors of modern primates, but rather a branch that split off from the mainline of primate evolution (from today's point of view) at an early date.
		The picture is complicated by other still existing orders of mammals that must be close to primates on the evolutionary tree: The tree-shrews (order Scandentia), the colugos or "flying lemurs" (order Dermoptera), and perhaps the bats (order Chiroptera), although the latter are only distantly related according to recent molecular studies (
		Where plesiadapiforms fit in between all of these is still hotly debated (
