The whale is descended from a deer
« on: 21/12/2007 01:51:56 »
The whale is descended from a deer-like animal that lived 48 million years ago, according to fossil evidence.

Remains found in the Kashmir region of India suggest the fox-sized mammal is the long-sought land-based ancestor of whales, dolphins and porpoises.

Fascinating, but I don't see it as plant science.

There is ambiguity about the nature of the title of the forum . However, it's the nomenclature of this portion of the site which is ambiguous and Hadrian has in fact posted in the right section.

Bored Chemist is also right to see this as the wrong section though and would not be the first to mention it !
