It includes a anteaters, sloths, and armadillos. It used to be that, these families were classified together by owning a pangolins and Aardvark as the choose Edentata (meaning toothless, because a members don't stand front incisor even even dentition or grinder, or own poorly-developed grinder). It was later on realized that Edentata was polyphyletic—that it contained unrelated families and was thus invalid. Orycteropus afer & anteater come nowadays set inside single orders, & a recently choose Xenarthra was erected to class action a left over families (which are100% related). A title Xenarthra means "strange joints", & was chosen because their vertebral joints are unlike people of any more mammalian. Because it lack characters believed to become present in a most common ascendent of more known Eutherian mammals, morphological grounds to believe suggests that a Xenarthra come outside the Epitheria, which contains altogether more known Placental mammal now.

A morphology of Xenarthrans typically suggests that a anteaters & sloths come nearest together in Xenarthra.
