Summary Introduction
To differentiate: Between Monotremes, Marsupials, and Eutherians on the basis of their methods of child bearing.
Concept introduction: Monotremes, Marsupials and Eutherians all have evolved from ancient mammals. Regarding their method for bearing children, monotremes are egg laying mammals.
Marsupials and the eutherians give birth to their young ones, but have different mechanism for giving birth.
