For a long time, bats were thought to be part of the superorder Archonta -- the group that includes treeshrews, colugos, and primates, because those are the mammals they look the most like.

很长一段时间以， 蝙蝠被认是 Archonta 超目的一部分——包括树鼩、colugos 和灵长类动物的群体，些是们看像的哺乳动物。

Instead, all of these studies put bats into a totally different superorder, one known as Laurasiatheria.

相反， 所有些研究都将蝙蝠归入了一个完全不同的超目，一个被称 Laurasiatheria 的超目。

They seem to have come from some very primitive mammal near the base of Laurasiatheria that also gave rise to one or more of the other groups in the superorder.

们似乎源自劳亚兽总目中原始的哺乳动物之一，也产生了超目中的一个或多个其他群体。

Now, superorders are, by their very nature, incredibly diverse.

现在，超目本身极其多样化。
