What is the origin of this universe, planet, and the living things inhabiting it?
For these reasons paleontologists have discarded the shark and all other fish from the list of possible ancestors to the whale. The dolphin is perhaps more probable because it shares at least some of the characteristics of the whale (blowhole, fin movement, skeleton). However, even if we were able to assume that the dolphin did evolve into the whale, we would still have a problem: where did the dolphin come from? Again, sharks and other fish are too different so the authorities concluded that the only plausible ancestor was a land mammal…possibly the wolf or the bear. This hardly seems more plausible. Even trying to imagine this evolutionary process is difficult. In order for a bear to transform into a dolphin, its first major change would be to grow a large fin in place of its hind legs. Then, while dragging this fin along the ground (and quickly, remember, for it has to evade its predators, lest it becomes extinct) it has to develop a blowhole in the top of its head, change its “ro
