Whales evolution

www.tepapa.govt.nz/whales Whales are mammals whose ancestors lived on land. So how did they evolve into the sea creatures of today? Based on illustrations by Carl Buell and displayed as part of the Whales Tohorā exhibition.

As a child, I asked my teacher why whales have lungs instead of gills like all fish. He answered me because they were mammals. I wondered again why mammals, not fish if they are living in the water. He told me why my name was Farshad as if that logic answered anything. This happened almost 20 years ago, and I remember it as if it happened yesterday. Even though I am not a teacher, I promised myself to study and find answers to many questions that I may cross by those little curious minds.

The theory of evolution is a dogma without any scientific evidence. It was introduced not for scientific reasons but for ideological reasons. There are no fossils that prove evolution. More than 750 million animal fossils extracted from the earth prove that living things have not undergone any evolution. Living things did not appear by evolution but by the Cambrian explosion. And traces have been found that prove that people from the times when Darwinists claimed that people were half animals were fully human. And 200 million years ago there were people wearing shoes. "Triassic Shoe Sole Fossil" is proof of this. Darwinists hide this fossil from people, they never bring it up. There was no such thing as evolution. And countless studies in laboratories have failed to turn up any examples of beneficial mutations. Almighty Allah created living things not by evolution but by the Cambrian explosion. The functions of all organs, which Darwinists call obsolete organs in living things, have been revealed. In other words, there is no such thing as an expired organ in humans or other living things.

[@thomasdineen9484]

Catzilla For the same reason that you have an appendix. The species' leg now useless leg bones have begun to shrink, but they haven't had time to completely disappear. Perhaps descendants of modern whales millions of years in the future will not have leg bones and human descendants will not have appendixes.

[@kywilliams2717]

Antonpreis that's assuming our big bang was the first one. Do you even know if anything exists outside of our own universe? Perhaps God exists there and made our big bang happen from that environment that is capable of sustaining molecules. Who knows? That's right, absolutely no one. So lets not assume too much too soon.

Fun fact: you can tell that whales evolved from land animals b/c of the motion of their spine (similar to motion of dolphin and most land animals).

Marine Biologist here. All marine mammals (considered as cetaceans e.g. whales both toothed and baleen, dolphins and porpoise, pinnipeds e.g. seals both phocid and otariids, walrus, manatees, dugong, and the two carnivores the otter and polar bears) evolved from land based predators to reinvade the sea. The key phrase we are looking at here is MAMMAL. Unlike fish and other marine species these organisms have lungs not gills. They cannot breathe in an aquatic medium, rather they must surface to breathe. It is widely accepted that they evolved to reinvade the marine environment along the pathway of Desmostylia (google it and do some of the work yourself). This is held as true, not because of the writings of a group of people 2000 years ago back in the dark ages when it was a mystery that the sun rose every morning and the moon every evening, but because when studied, several characteristics of land mammals still exist in even the most advanced marine mammals. They still have all their phalanges and digits arranged in the same order as your own human hand unlike other aquatic organisms where the bones are much reduced, fused or purely absent to aid the specifically evolved buoyancy and locomotion (shark fins being cartilage to counter the specific gravity e.g. sinking effect of bone). The internal organs are all present and accounted for despite massive differences in size due to the overall morphological differences which is also different in most other aquatic organisms, the easiest observable being and enlarged liver in fish for extra lipid storage as a buoyancy aid. They poses eyes similar in photic receptor structure similar to those of nocturnal terrestrial animals. Ear structure, though modified, acutely similar in structure to terrestrial animals with the main difference being mandibular fat as an extra pathway to the inner ear enabling sound pinpointing in a denser medium where sound travels approx. 4.5x faster than air. I could go on but really, if you are going to argue against something at least educate yourself to that which you are opposing rather than spouting wild claims with no basis in any reality other than your own.

[@intotheblakeness]

Just to add to the hate, all life probably evolved from chemosynthetic bacteria found at deep sea trenches and we all probably evolved from mudskippers.

[@keepthefunk]

thanks!

[@JustClaude13]

bob dole I'm a little fuzzy on this. When you say they evolved "along the pathway of Desmostylia" are you saying that Demostylia was an ancestor or a model of how it happened. If the latter I may object that a model for clarity should be something people know about or that sheds more clarity than the Pakiscetus-Ambulocetus adaptation. If the former, then Desmostylia is either an Afrothere, hence related to elephants and manatees, or a side branch of the Perissodactyls. Whales are most closely related to Hippos and Artiodactyls. As for being descended from mudskippers, well, I'm sure I was descended from a more dignified variety of lungfish. Mudskippers just look, you know, silly.

The evolution of cetaceans is actually estimated to be around 50 million years ago. A billion years would be effing primitive lol.

@@JOHNWICK-5903.5 So imagine you’re an octopus with literally no self defense capabilities and no outer shell and you move really slowly but the only thing that can protect you is camouflage, which some octopi don’t even have, would you rather have horrible anxiety of a random predator catching and eating you alive or not, or just work a 9-5 job? Also pretty much like 60-70% (I am probably wrong about that) fish in the ocean get hunted and eaten, also whales get stuck on beaches and die a painful death alive.

[@barryashburn6899]

Before these amazing transformations which are not backed up by transitional skeletons, which evolved first in any of the species, the eyes or the mouth? How did the eyeball evolve? How did the eye know which frequency of light that would enable for them to see and evolve the rods & cones.How did fish gills know to evolve lungs that could breathe air particles without drowning?😂how did minerals turn into life?

[@Widderic]

It would be interesting to see how the nasal passage way developed into a blowhole. Pretty insane.

[@matthewmccormack1291]

I guess bc it was easier for them to surface for air if their nostrils were placed towards the top of their head

[@Widderic]

@@matthewmccormack1291 true, I was just trying to envision how the relocation of the nasal passage way would circumvent the placement of the brain over time. A timelapse of a cross section would be wild.
