Whale Evolution 4of5

Whales "cetaceans" are mammals like us. Despite that "fishy" lifestyle, their physiology clearly reveals their mammalian features. How did this occur? How did whales evolve? What did they evolve from? The evidence of whale evolution is clear. The list of new fossil species exhibiting transitional features continues to grow. If you are ever asked for an example of "transitional fossils", this list is a great place to start.

@EternalSeptic77 Then just continue to follow your bible in your blissful igonorance and leave the proven theories of science to the intelligent.

[Grammar Nazi]"Disorientate" is an archaic, unnecessarily longer form of "disorient." The word itself is at least 300 years old, and the origin is British. Given that the narrator sounds British (or the special may have been produced by a Briton), this should be ample explanation for your hearing it in this program. [/Grammar Nazi]

Have they found that the Inner ear balance organ was transitioning WITHIN all of these "transitioning" Fossils? Funny how they don't touch on that other than "it was evolving". So they go from a Log legged web footed Sea creature to a Stump Vestigial, SUPER long tailed Preditor whale? This is Why Evolution is JOKE!!!

Great DVD resource on this for all who are interested:

@JBSauce I like the word disorientate. It sounds more complete to me. Then again, I'm English and read a lot...

The same thing went for the descendants of the Mosasaurs with the inner ear as well. Obviously an adaptation that was absolutely necessary to a land dweller that was becoming a water dweller full-time.

They make a prediction about where in the geologic record the fossil could be found. For example, when Tiktaalik was found they estimated it to have existed 350-325 million years ago. They went to that spot in the rock layers and found it.

[MakeSensePlz]

how do these archeologists find this stuff? the world is massive and yet they still manage to find animal bones that dont look any different from average rocks tbh. amazing.

[12ock]

it is proven all through out history.... whether human or animal or insects....... grouping together is a vital system to survive... from the harshest temperature....to extreme.. or to a human society...in mKING A SOCIETY..Or to a working ants or bees where matriarch are the leaders.....thats how we a living being survive!

@EternalSeptic77 Listen kid, if you cannot say anything intelligent or revelant, don't say anything at all. Provocations are not arguments and you're only lowering yourself even more.
