With their DNA and their closest actual descendant we might try to get something very close physically, but we will never fully have them back. I'm sorry.

Guys can we stop squabbling over nonsense and talk about cute fluffy dead animals for a second?

Semi related to how whales and dolphins developed: do you put any weight behind the semi-aquatic human developmental origin hypothesis? I always thought the nakedness and subcutaneous fat arguments were somewhat compelling. How about you?
>>
>>8172059
This is a shit subject to be honest bro. I'd definitely contribute if it was about actually cool prehistoric monsters like ancient giant snakes or the megalodon and shit but I really don't wanna talk about some loser extinct cousin of ant eaters or whatever trash mammal you got in op image.

>nakedness
we come from the savannah
we sweat

So it was one of the last plate-head fish out there?

Is there a living being which can be similar to the ancient Hallucigenia?

>we come from the savannah
Just like the famous Naked Zebra and Naked Savannah Lion. Actually the only naked savannah animal I can think of off hand is the hippo and they're semi aquatic.

>just like pretty much every other mammal
Nah, we have subcutaneous blubber which is very much unlike most mammals' (and apes' in particular) tendency toward intramuscular fatty storage.
>>
>>8172591
>Actually the only naked savannah animal
You ignored the point about sweating mate

And yes, subcutaneous fat is a very common faeture and not brings advantages not only to aquatic mammals. Keep in mind we are also bald
