Apple's Macintosh project was started in the late 1970s by Jef Raskin who built up a team of Apple engineers and designers including George Crow, Chris Espinosa, Joanna Hoffman, Bruce Horn, Susan Kare, Andy Hertzfeld, Guy Kawasaki, Daniel Kottke, and Jerry Manock. Steve Jobs joined the Macintosh team in the early 1980's and Raskin left the team in 1981 due to personality conflicts between himself and Jobs.

Mac OS was not exactly an invention. Mac OS was created by simplifying and reducing in size the OS that had been created for the unsuccessful Apple Lisa computer. Mac OS X was created by adapting the OpenStep OS created for NeXT Computer's NeXT computer. OpenStep OS is based on BSD Unix (going back to the 1970s at UC Berkley) and the Mach Kernel (going back to the 1980s at Carnegie Mellon). The development of Mac OS is more of an evolution than an invention.

Apple, Inc.

Mac OS X is based on OpenStep (or NextStep, don't remember which), which was developed by NeXT.

NeXT was owned by Steve Jobs (Apple Cofounder and CEO), but was bought out by Apple sometime in the 1990's.
