Now these diagrams explain the essence of the differences between the three competing hypotheses for cetacean relations. The new pakicetid data indicate that the third branching diagram, the artiodactyl hypothesis, describes the relationships of cetaceans best.That's one line of evidence. The molecular line of evidence still points overall to hippos as being closer to cetaceans than any other artiodactyls. Unless, that is, gore3000 is right and the molecular evidence proves just the opposite. (That is, hippos are unrelated to cetaceans.) However, he seems to have lost his source for that one.
Vade, seriously, as a friend – do not watch infomercials or QVC.
Actually, I saw your website – get the BowFlex man!
