Today, you’re going to learn a bit more about whale evolution. Scientists believe they have made an extraordinarily strong case for an astounding claim; whales evolved from a four-legged predator about the size of a wolf. Your job is to assess the evidence.
You will read a short article about whale evolution followed by a 17 minute clip of a video on the topic.
Will be asked to reflect on what you've learned and assess whether or not you believe scientists have made a strong case for the astounding claim that whales evolved from small predators that lived on land.
