Summary Introduction

To review:

Human populations often differ in external morphological characteristics. The basis on which all the human populations are classified as a single species is to be mentioned.

Introduction:

The binomial name for a human being is Homo sapiens. They are present on the earth from approximately 1.9-0.4 million years. The human being is a biological and biosocial organism. Human beings are characterized by their erect posture and their bipedal locomotion.

Blurred answer
Students have asked these similar questions
n which situation would it make sense to use the morphological species concept?     When you are able to collect data about how individuals in your study use their habitat, but you are unable to determine if they interbreed     When working with fossils from extinct organisms     When you only have genetic data about each organism in your study     When you are not able to collect data about how individuals in your study use their habitat, but you are able to collect reproductive data
Create a Concept Map for the following:
Define natural selection using the 5 points below to explain its role in understanding primate behavior. (1) there is variation among individuals;   (2) some of that variation is heritable;   (3) there is always competition between individuals for resources;  (4) some variants outcompete other variants and leave more offspring;   (5) to the extent that the parent's traits are heritable, then a larger portion of the next generation will  reflect those traits.
