Extensive resources on the Evolution of Whales and Land to Sea transitions in Mammals.

• INTRODUCTION: The Evolution of Whales
  http://www.edwardtbabinski.us/whales/introduction.html
  Introduction into the controversy over the origins of modern whales which retain vestigial hind limb rudiments. Cladogram of early whales to modern whales.
  
  
• Review of Strange Tale of the Leg on the Whale
  http://www.edwardtbabinski.us/whales/whale-leg.html
  Vestigial pelvises on whales, denial of femurs by Creationists (calling it bone disease). Creationists say these remnants were designed for copulation only, but science says this is how Evolution works --finding new purpose for old structures.
  
  
• Review of Strange Tale of the Leg on the Whale
  http://www.edwardtbabinski.us/whales/whale-limbs.html
  Out of date information published by Creationists. New fossil finds of early whales. Contains image of complete leg bones from basilosaurus, and reconstruction of the creature's likely appearance.
  
  
• Land to Sea: Inner Ear Transitions in Whales
  http://www.edwardtbabinski.us/whales/whale-ear-transition.html
  Images of transitional inner ear of whales, as they evolved from land to sea mammals. Professor Hans Thewissen explains the differences of earbone fossils, the incus and tympanic.
  
  
• REVIEW OF A Whale of a Tale? (Ambulocetus) Don Batten
  http://www.edwardtbabinski.us/whales/whale-tail.html
  The whale tail and Ambulocetus' lack of a fluke, nasal drift and canine teeth in early whales. Image showing nasal drift from early to modern whales.
  
  
• REVIEW OF Overselling of Whale Evolution
  http://www.edwardtbabinski.us/whales/overselling-whales.html
  Questions on the dating of varied early whales, and further suggested reading on whale evolution. The evolution of eco-location, nursing young (suggesting common ancestry with land mammals), and the brain of humans vs. cetacea.
  
  
• Pelvic Bones on Whales, Ambulocetus
  http://www.edwardtbabinski.us/whales/whale-pelvis.html
  Answers in Genesis knowingly placed out of date information on the web to refute up to date information. This was a blatant non-scientific misrepresentation of fossil evidence in an attempt to discredit evolutionary fact as speculative theory.
  
  
• Example One of Hind Limb Rudiments
  http://www.edwardtbabinski.us/whales/rudiments01.html
  1958, caught in the Bering Sea - An X-Ray revealing bone structures and a photograph taken of the protrusions on the whale's body.
  
  
• Example Two of Hind Limb Rudiments
  http://www.edwardtbabinski.us/whales/rudiments02.html
  1919 Historical record and photos of a female humpback with protruded hind limbs including femur, tibia and tarsus, and 1914 report of protruded limbs on embryoes. Images of protruded limb on Cachalot.
  
  
• Example Three of Hind Limb Rudiments
  http://www.edwardtbabinski.us/whales/rudiments03.html
  Female Sperm Whale, caught in 1956. Upon examining the interior of the limb three partially cartilaginous bones were found. Corresponding to the pelvis, femur, and possibly to the tibia.
  
  
• Example Four of Hind Limb Rudiments
  http://www.edwardtbabinski.us/whales/rudiments04.html
  A list of catches between 1956 and 1963 of whales caught and discovery of hind limb protrustions, including the approxiamate percentage of whales.
  
  
• Example Five of Hind Limb Rudiments
  http://www.edwardtbabinski.us/whales/rudiments05.html
  Struthers' commentary on the dissection of a right whale and photos from the Museum of Zoology, including further diagrams. Some interesting facts concerning the pelvic anatomy of the majority of modern day whales.
