How does that establish that the platypus and humans “evolved from the same ancestor” as the article claims?

My particular post #20 doesn’t. That was a reply to an earlier commenter who stated that there were “absolutely no fossil evidence for platypus-like creatures” or something to that effect.

To answer your question, you’d have to look at the larger body of fossil records, and genetic data available.
