A latest mobile application for iPhone, TimeTree, tells how long ago you shared a common ancestor with any species. The application was developed by scientists at Penn State University in the US.
This free mobile application for the Apple iPhone is the brainchild of Prof Blair Hodges of Penn State University and Sudhir Kumar, a PhD graduate of the same university now at Arizona State University. Users enter the names of any two species or families, and TimeTree mobile application will tell how long ago their common ancestor lived. A circular ‘Tree of Life’ image shows the route life has taken from its single source to the 1,610 taxonomic families that exist — containing between seven and 100 million individual species.
