Line 24: − ==Evolutionary Origins Hypothesis== − Scientists who advocate the [[theory of evolution]] speculate that modern wombats evolved from Diprotodontians (the supposed common ancestors of wombats and [[kangaroo | kangaroos]]) about 55-65 million years ago and that they are closely related to the [[koala]]<ref name="triggs"/>. This hypothesis is supported by [[mitochrondria|mitochondrial]] genetic evidence as well as fossil evidence.<ref>Janke A et al. "Phylogenetic analysis of 18S rRNA and the mitochondrial genomes of the wombat, Vombatus ursinus, and the spiny anteater, Tachyglossus aculeatus: increased support for the Marsupionta hypothesis."

Creation researchers suggest that the wombat-specific design of its rear-opening pouch provides strong evidence for the wombat's special creation and against the evolutionists' Diprotodontian theory of wombat/kangaroo common ancestry<ref>[http://www.icr.org/article/677/ "Watches and Wombats"], by Ken Ham, Institute for Creation Research</ref>.
