The evolution of cetaceans is thought to have begun in the Indian subcontinent from even-toed ungulates (Artiodactyla) 50 million years ago (mya) and to have proceeded over a period of at least 15 million years. [2] Cetaceans are fully aquatic mammals belonging to the order Artiodactyla and branched off from other artiodactyls around 50 mya.

The Middle and Late Ordovician deposits in Kentucky are exceptionally rich in bryozoans, [52] but bryozoans can be found in Kentucky rocks all the way into the Pennsylvanian period. They may be Kentucky's most common type of fossil. [53] Archimedes, a distinctive genus of Mississippian fenestrate bryozoan known for its screw-like skeletal structure
In cetaceans, evolution in the water has caused changes to the head that have modified brain shape such that the brain folds around the insula and expands more laterally than in terrestrial mammals. As a result, the cetacean prefrontal cortex (compared to that in humans) rather than frontal is laterally positioned. [26]
They determined that the flow of Neanderthal genes into humans occurred roughly 47,000 years ago and lasted no more than 7,000 years. ... a professor and research leader on human evolution at the ...
Although national ratification of the 13th Amendment meant Kentucky was bound to the federal law, Kentucky did not itself ratify it until 1976. As always, thank goodness for Mississippi. It did ...
Cetaceans are known to communicate and therefore are able to teach, learn, cooperate, scheme, and grieve. [41] The neocortex of many species of dolphins is home to elongated spindle neurons that, prior to 2007, were known only in hominids. [42] In humans, these cells are involved in social conduct, emotions, judgement, and theory of mind.
