摘要：

A new study indicates that cetaceans (whales, dolphins and porpoises) form a clade with artiodactyls (pigs, hippos, camels and ruminants) -- that is, they have a common ancestor that is not shared by any other group of mammals. These radical new findings could mean that a cow is more closely related to a dolphin or whale than to a pig or a camel.
