PB: Yeah, I know this paper. Fossil evidence of another MPG.
Dr Borger, did all whales come from one MPG (Ambulocetus?) or should they be split into three MPGs (archaeocetes(paraphyletic), toothed whales(paraphyletic), baleen whales (monophyletic)) or four (archaeocetes, baleen whales, sperm whales, dolphins (including orca)) or five (archaeocetes, baleen whales, sperm whales, dolphins, orca) or one MPG=one genus, or one MPG=one species like Homo vs Pan?

You asked me to make predictions based on the GUTOB (the MPG side), and these are what I come up with. Please elaborate my predictions.
