...Researchers added that the modern whales that we know of today are descendants of deer-like mammals that lived on land for 10 million years, according to BBC News..

I thought consensus was that life crawled out of the Ocean, not into it ?
When I was in school they taught us that we were on the verge of a new Ice Age, then the science evolved and we were going to quickly have Global Warming, now today the climate is just going to change, just like the Corona Virus.

Why do they use the word prehistoric? This thing is a fossil, not a Neandarthal human .
