Ok, but evolution doesn't follow a straight path. The ancestors of whales looked like wolves, while whales look, act, and function much more like fish, which those wolf-like pre-whales evolved from way earlier up the line. This is a common misconception about evolution, so don't feel bad for getting caught in it.

Nothing about the phrase “more evolved” implies a “straight path” of evolution
