Can we call human evolution as adaptive radiation?

लघु उत्तर

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.
