i am not sure how the credit gets split

there are two issues - first finding the fossil - estimating the age etc. the second is to figure out where the fossil lies in the grand taxonomy of things

the scientists have not figured out the full evolution yet

Coincidental and what does that have to do with modern Pakistan? You guys are going to start domesticating whales now?

Coincidental as I stated before. Does it make Pakistan any better if they have whales?

The same can be said about literally almost anything anyone uses to take pride in their homeland.
