    Well, maybe he refers to the branch with the greatest common ancestor of us and whales. So our branch of evolution can have mating calls 100KM rather than their branch with measly 80KM

      Unless the nuclear war and global warming kill off 99.999% of us, making our infrastructure unsustainable, then our mating call goes back down to a fraction of a kilometer. Whales: 1, humans: 0.

      Yeah I guess, but that doesn’t really help. Humans already killed most of the whales so rubbing in our technological superiority is quite gauche.

      You never know if whales are going to get revenge for this kind of stuff someday 😅
