    Anyone else stupidly bothered by the fact that he used a green reverse? If he’s playing Uno he needs to match the color

    If you go back far enough, whales are a type of fish, just like us humans

      Either that or fish aren’t a phylogenetic group. You decide

        You can’t evolve out of a clade, or so they say.

        Of course it’s not helpful to call humans and whales fishes in common parlance. But in phylogenetics, why not?

          Because that would make fish and vertebrates synonyms so why not drop the former altogether?

            Words can mean more than one thing thought, and depending on the context it can be useful to convey the fact that the vertebrates all evolved from fish-like ancestors, or that whales are more closely related to some fish than those fish are related to other fish.

              And it’s totally valid to use it that way even though I wouldn’t. That’s the “You decide” part of my first comment

          If by whales you meant killer whales specifically people do say that. They also generally know that dolphins are whales, some people just so excited to correct others they don’t think any further.

      Dolphins are whales with teeth, a distinction that makes them just slightly not whales

    The space between a wale’s blowhole and their teeth isn’t their forehead, it’s an enlarged upper lip.
