The upper and lower basal subclades within the tree are the suborders Solenodonota and Erinaceota, respectively.^[11] These two branches are estimated to have split ~72–74 million years (Ma) ago.^[11]^[6]^[7] The Nesophontidae and Solenodontidae are thought to have separated roughly 57 Ma ago.^[11] Split times for talpids vs. soricids plus erinaceids, and for soricids vs. erinaceids, have been estimated at 69 Ma and 64 Ma ago, respectively.^[12]
