Well, in a sense, pens can "evolve", under the influence of outside input. Use a pen enough, by writing on paper, and it will "evolve" from a being a tube filled with pigmented fluid to being a tube containing little or no fluid. The point may also go so far as to wear out.
Subject a pen to a large amount of pressure, and it will "evolve" into a different shape.
Subject a pen to a large amount of heat, and the pen will "evolve" (by combustion, volitalization, melting, etc.) into something not at all resembling a pen.
But do these analogies have any relevance to organic evolution? I don't think so.

Re: Cetacean - Whale Evolution by Ed Babinski
I copied the entire message to a more appropriate topic, at http://EvC Forum: Mesonychidae to Whale Question -->EvC Forum: Mesonychidae to Whale Question. While it is very good, it is off-topic in this string.
