"Whales are perhaps the most remarkable group of animals to go back to the sea, and their evolutionary journey is now quite well understood due to a variety of fossils found mostly in Pakistan. The animals represented here are not to scale and don't represent a direct line of descent, but rather plausible models for how this amazing transition happened."

"Darwin was the first to use data from nature to convince people that evolution is true, and his idea of natural selection was truly novel. It testifies to his genius that the concept of natural theology, accepted by most educated Westerners before 1859, was vanquished within only a few years by a single five-hundred-page book. On the Origin of Species turned the mysteries of life's diversity from mythology into genuine science." -- Jerry Coyne
