Question
Chapter 24, Problem 9TYU
Summary Introduction
To explain: All human populations are assigned to a same species and to think if a second human species could be originated in future.
Concept introduction:
Species can be defined as a group of population with interbreeding members to produce viable and fertile offspring. Human beings are one of the best examples of “biological species concept” as all humans pertain to the single species.

EVOLUTION CONNECTION Explain the biological basis forassigning all human populations to a single species. Can youthink of a scenario by which a second human species couldoriginate in the future?
Evolution:
What could lead to different populations of the same species living in different environments?
20+ years ago, the view of paleontologist and paleoanthropologist on the human evolution is linear/step-ladder where in one specie first then become extinct and then new species came out. Is this true? Explain well and give examples.

Is it likely that this population meets all the conditions required for genetic equilibrium?arrow_forwardSome worms eat at night (meaning they are nocturnal) and some worms eat during the day (meaning they are diurnal.) Most birds eat only during the day, so they are only eating diurnal worms, due to the fact that the nocturnal worms are burrowing during this time. Each spring when the worms reproduce about 500 offspring are born but only 100 of them live long enough to reproduce themselves. Explain how natural selection will occur and include the 4 principals of natural selection.arrow_forwardHow can a shift in the proportion of genes in a population could lead to the evolution of a new species? Explain why evolution happens to a whole population rather than to a single individual.arrow_forward

Use your understanding of natural selection to describe how polar bears became a separate classification from the grizzly. Then describe how grizzly and polar bear evolution may be affected by climate change.arrow_forwardEVOLUTION CONNECTION In 1847, the German biologistChristian Bergmann noted that mammals and birds livingat higher latitudes (farther from the equator) are on averagelarger and bulkier than related species found at lower latitudes.Suggest an evolutionary hypothesis to explain this observationarrow_forwardClimate warming could lead to all-female populations of bearded dragons, resulting in extinction of the species.

- What causes variation among a population of living things and How can variation in one generation influence the next generation? Is the variation in a population will be examined as the “raw material” upon which natural selection acts. Why are there so many different kinds of living things? Comparing species that exist today reveals a lot about their relationships to one another and provides evidence of common origins.
