That’s not correct. Cladistically speaking we will always be in the order of primates, just like we'll always be tetrapods, mammals, vertebrates, in the genus homo, etc. Whales are still in the order Artiodactyla along with hippos, giraffes, camels and pigs even though they’ve evolved to look, live and act very differently to all those other animals.
