by Dr Jonathan Sarfati
Lesson 5
Chapter 5: Whale Evolution?
Supplemental materials:
Discussion questions:
- Write a research paper on dolphins. What features reflect the work of a Master Designer?
- What changes are necessary for a land mammal to evolve into a whale?
- Analyze the various proposed ‘transitional forms’ in the ‘whale evolution’ series.
In reality, what type of creature is each of these animals?
- How would you answer someone who claims that one proof of whale evolution is the
vestigial hind leg found in whales?
|
Answers
- Formulate your own response. See Q&A:
Design Features for additional information.
- See pages 71-72.
- See Q&A: Whales for additional
information. Pakicetus was a land mammal; Ambulocetus fossils are found higher in
the fossil record than certain whale fossils, so is not an ancestor; Basilosaurus
was a serpent-like sea mammal, fully aquatic.
- See pages 77-78.
