How come nobody is propositioning that hippos evolved from whales?
The same reason nobody proposes chimpanzees evolved
from humans?

More to the point, how come no one ever ask us "if whales
evolved from land mammals, then why are there still land
mammals"?

[Or for that matter "if land animals evolved from fish,
how come there are still fish?"]

cheers
If whales evolved from fish why are there still fish?

I hope you are not thinking that whales evolved dirrectly from fish.
You do know that whales are mammals?


The statement was a parody of the "If man evolved from monkeys, why are
there still monkeys"
