Reply #114: It appears that all cetaceans, including killer whales, are prohibited(?) from killing humans in the

You are right to postulate with this. It is not really arguable that dolphins, and all cetaceans, are WAY more advanced,in evolutionary terms, than humans.

Whales entered the water roughly 50 million years ago.

"Lucy", found by Prof Louis Leakey in Africa, was dated a scant 4 million years ago.

We are so arrogant. Look at their BRAINS! These creatures are SO much more developed than we are so they KNOW we are empathetic "children" in evolutionary terms. Why else would their protect us in THEIR element??? They know kin, they can see our brain - and it's not as good as theirs - after all they have been developing theirs for 100+ times longer!

We dare to treat these companions on our Earth with arrogance (we can KILL them!) - when they do everything they can to save us.

From ourselves I think. Will we ever learn?

Sometimes I think it's not worth it. Leave to them. If they survive us.
