More Direct Definition

It'd be nice to have a more direct and complete definition of what this order is, as opposed to what it isn't (afrosoricida). I understand this can be tricky, as this order is apparently defined a lot more by genetics than physical traits. As it falls under the superorder Laurasiatheria, it sounds like this order originates from the supercontinent Laurasia. Also, I'm seeing on other related Wikipedia articles that this order is known as "True Insectivores". I think that should be inserted somewhere in the article, as it's very typical for orders to have alternative, vernacular English names that can be effectively communicated to the public.
