The evidence for evolution comes from so many places, it’s like solving a giant puzzle where every piece fits. Take whales, for example. Fossils show us their incredible journey from land-dwelling mammals to the ocean’s giants, with transitional forms like Ambulocetus—a creature that could walk on land and swim in water. Genetics backs this up too, showing whales are closely related to hippos! Combine this with embryology and we see hints of legs in whale embryos, tying the story together. Everywhere you look, evolution leaves its mark—and whales are one of its most fascinating chapters.
