If you can find me a single scientific citation that says that whales evolved from hippos I will eat an entire hippo. There is not one such article, popular or otherwise, and if you want to prove me wrong on this, find the actual citation, don’t simply bluster and throw around insults —- provide the article again. You are conflating in your head the fact that hippos are, among extant mammals, the closest relatives to whales with the notion that scientists have said that whales evolved from hippos. You clearly don’t read scientific (or popular science) carefully —- you skim it for outrage you can expostulate on later.
