-'''Cetartiodactyla''' is the [[clade]] in which [[whale]]s (including [[dolphin]]s) and [[even-toed ungulate]]s have currently been placed. The term was coined by merging the name for the two orders, [[Cetacea]] and [[Artiodactyla]], into a single word. The term Cetartiodactyla reflects the idea that whales evolved within the artiodactyls. Under this definition, their closest living land relative is thought to be the [[hippopotamus]]. The clade formed by uniting whales and hippos is called [[Whippomorpha]].<ref name="plosone.org">{{cite journal |title=Relationships of Cetacea (Artiodactyla) Among Mammals: Increased Taxon Sampling Alters Interpretations of Key Fossils and Character Evolution. |journal=PLOS ONE |year=2009 |last1= Spaulding |first1=M. |last2=O'Leary |first2=MA. |last3=Gatesy |first3=J. |DOI=10.1371/journal.pone.0007062 |url=http://www.plosone.org/article/info%3Adoi%2F10.1371%2Fjournal.pone.0007062}}</ref> Alternatively, the term 'Cetartiodactyla' is used to denote a clade where Cetacea evolved alongside Artiodactyla and not within it.

-Whales evolved from land [[mammal]]s and appear to form a [[monophyletic]] group. It is well accepted that all whales evolved from a single ancestor. The most widely accepted hypothesis before the 1990s was the closest relatives to whales were the fossil group [[Mesonychia]]. These were [[hoof|hooved]], predominantly [[carnivorous]] mammals known only from [[fossil]]s. But, today{{vague|date=February 2014}} few authorities still consider mesonychids to be more closely related to whales than artiodactyls. Instead, they are usually considered to be the closest relative of the Cetartiodactyla as a whole.
-==Kin to hippos==

-The idea that whales evolved from within the Artiodactyla is based on analysis of [[DNA]] sequences. In the initial molecular analyses, whales were shown to be more closely related to [[ruminant]]s (such as [[cattle]] and [[deer]]) than ruminants are to [[pig]]s. For the order name to reflect a real evolutionary unit, the term Cetartiodactyla was coined.
-Later molecular analyses included a wider sampling of artiodactyls and produced a more complete tale. Hippos were determined to be the closest living relative of whales, ruminants were related to a whale/hippo clade, and pigs were more distant. In addition to producing the controversial whale/hippo clade, these analyses debunked the idea that hippos and pigs are closely related. This had been a popular taxonomic hypothesis ([[Suiformes]]) based on similarities in [[morphology (biology)|morphological]] (physical) characteristics.
-In addition to DNA and [[protein]] sequences, researchers tracked the movement of [[transposon]]s called [[SINE]]s in the [[genome]] (see the method at [[retrotransposon marker]]). A transposon is a DNA sequence that will occasionally make a copy of itself and insert that copy into another part of the genome. It is considered highly unlikely that SINEs will insert themselves into exactly the same part of a genome by chance. The data indicate several transposons inserted themselves at the same point in the genomes of whales, ruminants and hippos (sometimes referred to as "pseudoruminants" because, although they have four-chambered stomachs like true ruminants, they do not chew the cud). This insertion point is not shared with [[camel]]s and pigs.
-This hypothesis has been tested with DNA sequences from a host of genes: the complete [[mitochondrial genome]] (as well as several of its genes independently), [[beta-casein]], [[kappa-casein]], [[von Willebrand factor]], [[breast cancer 1]], [[recombination activating gene]]s 1 and 2, [[cannabinoid receptor]] 1, and several others. These sequence data and the transposons converge on the same conclusion that hippos and whales are more closely related to one another than either is to other artiodactyls.
-Sequences analyzed in combined analyses with morphological characters have also produced the same results as sequences alone. Some have argued that the sheer number of characters (one for each [[nucleotide]]) in sequences swamps out the effects of morphology. A few morphology-based studies have suggested (weakly) the same results as the molecular results, but, overall, most morphological studies have conflicted with the whale/hippo hypothesis of Cetartiodactyla.
-An important exception is a study conducted by Boisserie et al. (2005). They examined 80 hard morphological characters of fossil and extant cetartiodactylan taxa. Their results suggest that the hippopotamids evolved from within a clade of [[anthracothere]]s. That anthracothere/hippopotamid clade appears to be sister to the Cetacea and supports the molecular results.
-==A clade apart==
-The morphology and [[paleontology]]-based opinion of the relationship of whales to other mammals has also undergone considerable changes since the early 1990s. Fossils, such as ''[[Rodhocetus]]'', have been discovered that refute the notion that whales are derived from or are closely related to the [[mesonychid]]s. Many morphologists{{Who|date=March 2010}} and paleontologists support the notion of a clade called Cetartiodactyla that unites Cetacea with Artiodactyla. Many{{Who|date=March 2010}} are not, however, in support of the hypothesis that Cetacea evolved from within the Artiodactyla. Under this definition, Artiodactyla remains a valid clade since artiodactyls evolved from a common ancestor separate from whales. Cetartiodactyla would represent a [[grandorder]] or [[superorder]] uniting the two orders.
-The vast majority of phylogenetic analyses based on morphological characters have not uncovered a whale/hippo clade, but show Cetacea and Artiodactyla as distinct from one another.{{Citation needed|date=January 2009}} Features of the bones of the [[talus bone|astragalus]] in the ankle region are cited as particular evidence for a monophyletic Artiodactyla. In any case, an origin of the Cetacea from within the [[Ungulata]] was proposed as early as 1900 by [[Frank Evers Beddard]] in ''A book of whales''. But, Beddard found the anatomical and fossil record at that time insufficient to rule out other possibilities, such as the notion that whales are a [[basal (evolution)|basal]] lineage among placental mammals, or the popular theory relating them to terrestrial carnivores. Because Beddard himself was not fully convinced, his bold proposal was largely forgotten.
-Hippo fossils have not been observed until the [[Miocene]] (23 to 5 Ma), but whale ancestors have been dated to the [[Eocene]] (56 to 34 Ma). The whale/hippo hypothesis imposes a gap of nearly 30 million years where no hippo ancestors are present. Certain [[anthracothere]]s have been proposed as hippo ancestors, but this concept has not garnered wide support among paleontologists.{{citation needed|date=May 2013}} However, the most recent hypothesis into the origins of hippopotamids suggests that hippos and whales shared a common semi-aquatic ancestor that branched off from other Artiodactyls around {{mya|60|million years ago}}.<ref name="ScienceNews">{{cite web | title = Scientists find missing link between the dolphin, whale and its closest relative, the hippo | date = 2005-01-25 | accessdate = 2007-06-18 | url = http://www.sciencenewsdaily.org/story-2806.html | work = Science News Daily}}{{dead link|date=August 2013}}</ref><ref name="DNA">{{Cite journal | url = http://mbe.oxfordjournals.org/cgi/content/abstract/14/5/537 | title = More DNA support for a Cetacea/Hippopotamidae clade: the blood-clotting protein gene gamma-fibrinogen | author = Gatesy, J. | journal = [[Molecular Biology and Evolution]] | volume = 14 | pages = 537–543 | pmid = 9159931 | issue = 5 | year = 1997 | doi=10.1093/oxfordjournals.molbev.a025790}}</ref> This hypothesized ancestral group likely split into two branches around {{mya|54|million years ago}}.<ref name="Genomes">{{Cite journal | title = Analyses of mitochondrial genomes strongly support a hippopotamus-whale clade | volume = 265 | issue = 1412 | year = 1998 | pages = 2251–5 | journal = [[Proceedings of the Royal Society]] | author = Ursing,B.M. |author2=U.
