If us Ice Age Homo sapiens use the same spears and clubs (iSpear and iClub?), then together we can send those Neanderthals the way of the dinosaur.
“For early Homo sapiens colonising Ice Age Europe, a new shared and flashy-looking technology might serve as one form of social glue by which larger social networks were bonded,” said Metin Eren, an experimental archaeologist from the University of Exeter in England. In other words: In the big picture, your iPhone 3G isn’t really that much better than the other guy’s crummy old Treo 650. But if you and your buddies can bond over your awesome iPhones, you are totally going to kick the Treo user’s sorry, Paleolithic ass.
