Genetic evidence suggests the porpoises are more closely related to the white whales, and these two families constitute a separate [[clade]] which diverged from the ~~Delphinoidea~~Delphinidae within the past 11 million years.<ref>{{cite journal \| author = Waddell, V.G. \| author2 = Milinkovitch, M.C. \| author3 = Bérubé, M. \| author4 = Stanhope, M.J. \| last-author-amp = yes \| year = 2000 \| title = Molecular Phylogenetic Examination of the Delphinoidea Trichotomy: Congruent Evidence from Three Nuclear Loci Indicates That Porpoises (Phocoenidae) Share a More Recent Common Ancestry with White Whales (Monodontidae) Than They Do with True Dolphins (Delphinidae) \| journal = Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution \| volume = 15 \| issue = 2 \| pages = 314–318 \| doi = 10.1006/mpev.1999.0751 \| pmid=10837160}}</ref> <ref>{{cite journal\|author = Bianucci\|author2 = Pesci\|author3 = Collareta\|author4 = Tinelli\|last-author-amp = yes\| year=2019 \|title=A new Monodontidae (Cetacea, Delphinoidea) from the lower Pliocene of Italy supports a warm-water origin for narwhals and white whales\| journal = Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology}}</ref>
