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 is most applicable in this example?A. Paleontological B. Phylogenetic C. Ecological D. MorphologicalE. Biological

Answer 1

The correct answer is E. Biological.

Step-by-step explanation:

The biological definition of species states that while two organisms can mate and have successful and fertile breed, then they belong to the same species. Therefore, if there were no genetic flow between both species, it means that mating and breeding were not successful and therefore, they were not the same species.
