For humankind's sake, it's probably a good think they "chose" the ocean. I have the feeling they would have outsmarted us while we were still swinging in the trees.
(Interesting alternate world premise there. The dinosaur what-if thing has already been done, of course, but I don't know any techno-industrial cetacean stories . . .)
