According to two teams of paleontologists, recent fossil discoveries in Pakistan show that whales, porpoises, and dolphins are more closely related to some of the oldest known even-toed ungulates--a group of hoofed mammals that today includes cows, camels, pigs, and hippos--than to any other mammals.

其实我是选的对的，此题正确答案是A，但是分析句子的时候有一个问题很困惑，希望有大神解释一下。
A中的红色字体的includes，为什么谓语是单数呢？难道include不是指前面的mammals吗？
谢谢！

includes 是根据前面的 a group 来的吧。。。不是 mammals。。

我想问另外一个问题
... are more closely related to ... than to any other mammals
这句话是把 than (related) to other mammals 中的related 省掉了么？对于这种比较有什么分析吗

难道不把a group of mammals 当作一个整体看吗？

就是因为看成一个整体，谓语要和a group of一致的呀，因为是A Group
