The 50-million-year-old fossils of an ancient whale found in the Himalayan foothills of Pakistan give strong evidence that modern whales are descended from a four-legged,land-dwelling animal.The fossils consist of part of the skull,some teeth,and the well-preserved middle ear of an animal that was 6 to 8 feet long,weighed 350 pounds,had a wolflike snout,and had two foot-long jaws with sharp,triangular teeth.It is the middle ear which suggests that the ancient whale lived on land.Analytic indicated that the animal had eardrums,which do not work in water and which modern whales have only in vestigial form.Furthermore,the right and left ear bones were not isolated from each other.The separation of these bones in marine whales enables them to detect the direcion of underwater sounds.

The most traditional American food may well be commeal.Commeal,as we know it today,began as an Indian staple.The Indians grew corn of six different colors-black,red,white,yellow,blue,and multicolored.They ground the corn kemels into commeal and mixed it with salt and water,then baked it.This recipe was introduced to the early colonists,who experimented with it and developed their own uses for commeal.Succotash,a meat stew with commeal added,and mush,leftower commeal porridge cut and fried,are two meals invented by early colonists.
