What are some differences and similarities between a modern elaphant and a phiomia?

Modern elephants and Phiomia, an extinct genus of proboscideans, share several similarities, such as their herbivorous diet and social behavior. Both possess elongated trunks, although Phiomia's trunk was likely shorter and less developed than that of modern elephants. In terms of differences, Phiomia lived during the Oligocene epoch and had a more primitive body structure, with a smaller size and different tooth morphology compared to modern elephants. Additionally, modern elephants are more closely related to other living species, while Phiomia is considered an evolutionary link between early proboscideans and modern elephants.
