Early whales had legs (and feet!)

And, as humans evolve, they will lose legs and feet.
The balancing of nature is ironic that way.

Curious what would have happened had they remained on land to evolve, especially with their intelligence. They could be trying to conserve humans and debating whether or not to allow commercial hunting -- oh, I mean scientific research.

believable....evoluation causes changes, and fusing of bones to make a different bone structure is understandable.

Is this more of "Gods plan"...?

brace your self for all hell to break lose with the religious nuts

Well apparantly according to the Dogon tribe in Africa, our long time ancestors were visited by a race from Sirius called the Nommos, who were an amphibian race with legs. They hung out and helped mankind then buggered off back to Sirius when a great calamity hit the Earth. Some stayed and took on the form that we know today as dolphins and whales.
They also brought ganja to earth. Cannabis: two dogs : Sirius A & B : the dog star.

I am sure I must have been an orca before being human and intend to go back to being one again. They treat family as sacred and I bet they have more wisdom than humans.

Yes, I know Orcas are not whales but still.....

This is so Awesome!

The fact that whales still have pelvis bones, after all the long years since they needed them.

Or if I was a teacher in a British school: God might have put it there to test us.

I hope we find the link soon to show those who do not believe in evolution that they are morons!

Cool!

AH ! A land whale run!

Hmmm...I am intrigued by the possibility that some of our ancestors had whale drumsticks .

I do not particularly like remakes, but I think it would be cool if they remade "Happy Feet" with whales!

I mean, they are mammals...

but does this mean that every water mammal was originally a land animal?

and what prompted the anatomical changes. why didn't they just stay on land with us and the ducks??

I remember watching a video in my anthro class showing how its most likely whales were once WOLVES.

omg it's the cloverfield monster! lol naa just kidding but it's a cool story

i wonder if they could walk and stuff like that

shhhh dont tell the christians or they may make up a "science" to be placed side by side or replace marine biology
