It is called THERAPEUTIC INDEX. Therapeutic index is the comparison of the amount of a particular drug that causes the desired therapeutic effects and the amount that causes toxicity. The index can be low or high. A drug with a low therapeutic index will require only a small increase in dose to produce toxic effects in users.

In recent years, there has been controversy among biologists about whether Neanderthals should be placed within the same species
Natali [406]

Answer:

The correct answer would be - biological species concept.

Explanation:

The biological species concept is a concept of speciation or how a species forms in nature. According to this, a species is the group of the population that can naturally or potentially interbreed with each other, not on the basis of their physical similarities or habitats.

The physical appearance could be useful as recognizing a species but not defining it. As neanderthals show very little or no gene flow with a modern human it means they do not belong to the same species as modern homo sapiens.

Thus, the correct answer is- biological species concept.
