Summary

Wadi Al-Hitan, known as the Whale Valley, offers a unique window into the evolutionary journey of whales from ancient ancestors to modern forms. This site, recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2005, provides critical evidence linking environmental conditions with significant evolutionary milestones in whale evolution. The study synthesizes existing literature to trace the evolutionary path of whales, while also highlighting the distinctive characteristics of Wadi Al-Hitan through direct observation and fieldwork.
