Thewissen says that whales are more closely linked to an extinct pig-like animal, often known as India's pig or Indohyus, while hippos are closely related to living pigs. But this isn't accurate according to Theodor.Mar 19, 2009

How can the selfishness of genes cause altruistic behaviour in animals?

Genes, to a large degree, determine how animals behave towards one another. In two closely related animals, it is more than likely that both animals carry a copy of the same gene. If that gene causes the animals to behave altruistically towards one another, it is in fact increasing the chances of survival of at least one copy of itself.
