Whether it is checking emails, sending messages, answering calls or keeping updated with Fab

We all seem to be using them more and more. So how many hours do you think you use yours?

The Mister is on his phone most hours of the day. It's rare to see without it in his hand.

Only use mine to text or call a couple of people generally, although I will log in to fab if I'm stuck in a waiting room or something. It's a Samsung S4 and has got more shit on there than I'm ever gonna use. I use ma pc when I'm at home, which is most of the time really

Apparently,some children are now developing with extra large thumbs. This is clearly evolution at work.

An example of social evolution is when someone walks towards you,engrossed in their phone, bumps into you and you apologize to them.

An example of humankind retaining its sense of humor is ,when you see someone walking totally engrossed in their phone,they walk into a lamp post/down a manhole/in front of a bus and you laugh uncontrollably.

Nonsense. That’s not how evolution works.

Pretty sure evolution takes longer than 20 years

I genuinely believe in a few years time you'll go to a phone shop and the spotty uninterested teenager will talk you through the latest model and when you ask about actually telephoning he'll look at you gone out and say "telephoning" very slowly as if it's an alien word or concept!

For those that can remember: think Not The Nine O'clock News and Mel Smith trying to buy a gramophone from Rowan Atkinson!

Evolution may be accelerating to keep up with technology.

Too much! It's actually nice when I go away on exercise and can't use it. I'm good when I'm out on a night with friends though, it rarely comes out then unlike some people (although I also have a smart watch so that tells me when I've got messages and notifications).

Environmental factors can affect evolution.

It’s not just that environmental factors \can\ affect evolution; a species’ environment is a massive contributing factor. Likewise, your earlier suggestion that technology may accelerate evolution could, in theory, be true, although it’s worth pointing out that the available evidence is that the rise of technology has all but stopped human evolution; it has been suggested that, in developed countries at least, we’re getting taller and more attractive, and that’s about it.

Even taking both of these into account, it is biologically impossible for humans to have evolved bigger or longer thumbs in the time we’ve had handheld touchscreens.

In order for humans to evolve longer thumbs, it would need to be triggered by one of two things:

1) Something happens which means people with short thumbs die before they can reproduce. Now, short thumbs might be inconvenient for using large phones, but while phones are non-essential and people still have index fingers, nobody is dying from it.

2) People start choosing sexual partners based on their thumb length, either consciously or subconsciously.

Now, the only one of those that could be happening is subconscious preference. It would probably lead to the slowest rate of evolution.

Even if all of these factors were in place, it takes multiple successive generations of this sort of selective breeding to see any sort of measurable evolution.

So, while I’m sorry to spoil your fun of regurgitating some nonsense you read or heard somewhere, whoever said/wrote it doesn’t know the first thing about evolutionary biology.

A lot but most of that time is doing things for my professional work such as replying to emails, checking my calendar, accessing certain documents etc.

Though I o spend a fair amount of time playing games, watching videos and social media as well

good points about Darwins theory of evolution but epigenetics may play a small role.

A small role, yes. But, unless we’re going to suggest that there’s a long-thumb gene that has lain dormant in most of the population for the entire history of our species, and that it has suddenly and coincidentally started switching on in everyone at the exact time that hand-held touch-screens have arrived, then the claim of children’s super-evolved thumbs is still nonsense.
