While true that doesn't explain why there was never any attacks for the previous 100's of years before it existed.

It's learning. They learn prey species from hunting with their family. But they are curious and playful and pretty fearless. If they decide humans on paddleboards make good food, and the mothers train their calves on us, watch out.
Our limited knowledge of orca behaviour is often based on a combo of captured & wild whales. Observing them in their habitat is difficult at best. We’re learning new & amazing things every year. They do some highly sophisticated things that are often beyond just “instinct” as some people thought.
Like all marine mamals they are highly inteligent creature, Evolution in maritime environment has been nearly undisturbed for hundreds of millions years. We are far lless evolved than them, barely 65 millions years. They are superior and probably more inteligent than us.
I wholeheartedly agree! I’ve always maintained that dolphins & all their kin are, arguably, very likely to be the best they can be; physically, intellectually, & socially. It’s we humans who are sorely lagging behind the likes of cetaceans and to some degree, many other creatures.
Orca's are mammals. Their ancestors share some part of their evolution with land mammals.
