Whales once had legs and lived on the land. They evolved from a terrestrial ungulate (most likely) known as a mesonychid. Snakes also once had legs. Bats gradually evolved wings and the ability to use echolocation (sonar).

Human evolution was pretty minor compared to these other creatures. We evolved skill with language. That seems pretty minor, to me, compared to the ability to fly and snatch bugs out of the air in the dark. Bats are amazing creatures.
