- "Iguanids apparently were isolated in Africa by epicontinental seas and gave rise to chamaeleonids in the west and agamids in the east; the scincomorphs radiated in Laurussia, giving rise to the teiids in North America and lacertids in Europe."
- "Chamaeleonids’ ears have simplified over time, and they are not visible externally, being covered with skin and scales. Unlike other lizards, chamaeleonids possess neither an exterior aperture nor a tympanic membrane, but they share some skeletal and fluid structure similarities with snakes."
