Is the placement of Tarsiiformes within suborder Haplorhini really still debated?

[edit]

The article says: "Even the placement of Tarsiiformes within suborder Haplorhini (with the monkeys and apes") is still debated.[2][8]"

The references [2] and [8] are from 2002 and 2007 respectively.

Is the placement really still being debated? It might have been in 2002 before the full-genome sequencing of relevant Haplorhini species.

For example, this Nature article shows the molecular evidence proving that "...tarsiers are clearly the sister group to anthropoids in the clade Haplorrhini."

I would remove the aforementioned sentence from the article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.113.26.74 (talk) 17:29, 30 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
