The first several years of Linux development were mostly revolutionary than evolutionary. In the first 5-10 years of Linux, new big features were being implemented every year. Now Linux is extremely mature, and is improved upon little by little as new devices are created, and new protocols are accepted.
Below are links that describe the history of Linux!

no spyware, virus free and it won't slow down as much a windows does when you have used it for a period of time. It amazes me that young kids who just myspace, email and browse the web do not take Linux seriously. They are always complaining that windows is slowed down, this is because of spyware and other screwed up mess. I just bought a new laptop with windows 7 and it is already slow, because why? I think windows is a virus and would like to get Linux or mac or something other that stupid garbage windows. The graphics of Linux was a little flaky when it came out, however it has evolved to a serious competitor of windows for a while now with out really competing with garbage windows. To tell the truth I am not sure how someone became so rich putting out this type of trash.
Definitely not. Unix was developed around 1969 - 1972, and Operating Systems have been available since the very late 1940's, early 50's.
It is a now-defunct workstation distribution of Linux. The company that developed it merged with SCO to become the SCO Group, which, since 2002 has been spending its time on frivolous lawsuits aimed at seriously harming Linux, all of which to date are unsuccesful.
The first human, since all of us are evolved from East Africa.
No, but Linux is based on Unix since Linux is a Unix clone.
The original UNIX was an operating system developed by Bell Labs in the early 70's. What makes UNIX significant is that many of the ideas that were part of it became standards in computers, even today. As time passed, those standards evolved, and became the basis for a number of newer systems, such as BSD, Linux, and even Mac OS X. Since they share similar standards they are called "UNIX variants". In 1992, Linux was created. What makes Linux different from many of the other UNIX variants is that no one owns Linux, and it is essentially "community property". It has been freely adapted for many purposes. Linux "distributions" are versions of Linux that are tailored for a specific audience. Since no one person's needs are exactly the same, there are many different versions to choose from. They are the same operating system, just with different things added.
its been around since humans first evolved.
I think that scientists have changed the classification system since it was first developed because, the world has grew example technology and they wanted to update it. I also think scientists have changed the classification system since it was first developed to make it easier.
The very first one, period. The first shell for Unix didn't originally have a name but has since been referred to as the Thompson shell. The first shell ported to Linux was bash.
yes, but all instruments have evolved a little since their creation.
Yes, the computer as we know it today is a modern invention. The first electronic digital computer was developed in the mid-20th century and has since evolved significantly to become an integral part of modern society.
Well, sea for sure since they evolved there. Second, I'm not so sure perhaps land? Since they evolved many millions of years ago.
Yes. The Linux kernel has supported the IPv6 protocol since 1996.
