The Hyrax is most closely related to Elephants.

Most likely no relation to elephants.
Remember the time when taxonomists thought that the giant panda was a giant raccoon rather than a bear?

If you put him in the zoo in Wash DC, he lets everyone punch him in the shoulder.
Later he begs to go to lunch with those same people.
He swells with pride if photographed with them.

and.. I’m interested in how Darwinists incorporate this cute as a bug little critter into the elephant evolutionary tree. It’s one thing to leap from gorillas to human, but which came first - the elephant, or the mouse with elephant DNA that acts like an antelope?
and if the elephant (or mouse) DNA branched into so many variations, why didn’t gorilla DNA? (I know the Christian answer but I’m always interested in the evolutionist perspective)

Yes. DNA sequencing did kind of mess up that whole ‘tree of life’ thing a bit, didn’t it?
