evolutionary origins of the iPhone
The evolutionary origin of the iPhone has recently been pushed back another million years. More specifically, scientists recently found evidence that hominini used tools about 3.4 million years ago. Dr. Zeresenay Alemseged, Curator of Anthropology at the California Academy of Sciences, explains:
Tool use fundamentally altered the way our early ancestors interacted with nature, allowing them to eat new types of food and exploit new territories. It also led to tool making—a critical step in our evolutionary path that eventually enabled such advanced technologies as airplanes, MRI machines, and iPhones.
In related news, Android-based smartphones outsold iOS-based iPhones by 21% in the second quarter of 2010. This is a major change from second quarter of 2009. Evolution continues!
