Part A

For

thousands

of

years,

human

beings

have

been

fascinated

by

whales.

It

is

uncertain when, how or why the ancestors of the whale gradually moved into a purely

aquatic

environment.

Freed

from

the

gravity

of

the

land,

the

whales

evolved

to

become

the

true

ocean

beings

of

the

planet.

For

most

of

our

shared

history,

our

relationship with the whales has been a distant one. If a memory remains behind the

eyes

of

these

gentle

creatures,

it

is

rarely

if

ever

shown.

Rather

our

first

furtive

attempts to

enter the whale’s

domain seem

greeted with

curiosity and a longing for

communication and understanding.

clothes

especially

for

work.

Actually,

people

started

to

wear

casual

clothes

on

Fridays

in

the

1990s.
