∙ 11y agoDolphins evolved from whales and they evolved from something called a Mesonix. They ate in they water, and from then on, over 30 million years, they evolved the means to better be suited to the water. The closest living land cousin to the dolphin according to Japanese Genome study, is the pig and other augulates, (hoofed animals) Anyways, so from the Mesonix back, I'm assuming it had to have evolved like most of the other mammals did from dinosaurs, through birds, and what not. That I'm not sure but I DO know what the dolphin's land form was now cause I got stupid curious.

Could sharks and dolphins one day evolve into the same species?
Yes this is very likely. All it would take is a ecosystemal change that makes sharks and dolphins develop a form of mutualism. Over time they will evolve mutually together as their enviroments change and it is no great stretch to think that they will one day try to have sex and it will work.
