Can we call human evolution as adaptive radiation?
Advertisements
उत्तर
No, human evolution is not considered an example of adaptive radiation. Adaptive radiation involves the evolution of diverse species from a common ancestor to occupy different ecological niches. In contrast, human evolution is a straight and slow change from earlier species like Homo habilis and Homo erectus to Homo sapiens, instead of the branching variety seen in adaptive radiation.
