Someone calling himself Huckleberry Finn who is either a creationist or simply a troll posted some nonsense on Carl's site. It seems to me that many of this sort use pseudonyms rather than their own names. Perhaps they have a remnant of shame. Or perhaps it's fear of being recognized as what they are.

It's too bad Zimmer's excellent book on evolution didn't quite catch the latest science on whale ancestors. It's still got the mesonychid story.

Read it anyway. Science is not dogmatic, it is constantly evolving.
