Question

There is still some controversy among biologists about whether Neanderthals should be placed within the same species as modern humans or into a separate species of their own. Most DNA sequence data analyzed so far indicate that there was probably little or no gene flow between Neanderthals and Homo sapiens. Which species concept describing species relationship between modern humans and Neanderthals is most applicable in these observations? (A) genetic (B) ecological (C) morphological (D) biological

Answer 1

The correct option is (D) Biological

Biological concept describe species relationship between modern humans and Neanderthals.

What kind of relationship existed between Neanderthals and modern humans?

• Compared to other primates, humans have distinctive physical and cognitive traits.
• The evolutionary link between humans and Neanderthals can be seen in the Neanderthal DNA sequence.
• According to the most recent data, the modern human and Neanderthal lineages split up prior to the appearance of modern humans. Thus, it is likely that a portion of biologically significant human-chimpanzee sequence differences originated and fixed entirely on the current human lineage.
• Human-primate genome comparisons could incorporate a reconstructed Neanderthal genome sequence to assist shed light on the evolutionary genetic processes that gave rise to contemporary humans.
