A friend recently tried to argue that orcas were not "whales" because they were dolphins, I am relieved to learn that dolphins are whales anyway, nullifying the whole dispute.
Yeah, I've read that dolphins (and porpoises, etc.) belong to the "toothed whales" (the Odontoceti parvorder) whereas other whales such as the blue whale and humpback whale belong to the "baleen whales" (the Mysticeti parvorder), which are the two parts of the Cetacea infraorder. 🐳🐬 Don't get me started on "Old World monkeys"... (Cercopithecidae versus Catarrhini)
My clumsy fingers accidently clicked on this video but accident without even seeing the video thumbnail or title, but I watched it anyway and not disappointed. Very interesting
Your posts are always fascinating. As an aside, check out the book "Devolution" by Max Brooks ("World War Z"), about a completely fictitious Sasquatch massacre in Washington state. Fascinating read about human / primate nature.

The term seems to be used most often to express subjective disapproval of a change dressed up with a scientific-sounding word.

Would love to see you skewer the TNG episode where the crew “de-evolves” into various animals.
Thanks for this! The term secondary evolution is new for me.
