I love these evolutionary fairy tales.
“Dolphin reveals an extra set of ‘legs’
Scientists say fins may represent throwback to ancient land-dwelling ways”
Sure I’ll swallow that.
But, why not say:
Scientists say fins represent evolutionary reversal. Dolphins are evolving back into land animals.
Do they believe in evolution or not? Either could be the case, which means neither is science—just stuff they make up.

If you read the whole thing, they actually mention that- that it could be a mutation too.
