Why are humans in Asia and in Europe NOT different biological subspecies?
Both populations are geographically isolated from one another. |
||
Both populations are genetically significantly different from each other. |
||
Gene flow readily occurs between these regions. |
||
The two populations have similar amounts of exposure to UV radiation |
.
a subspecies is a taxonomic category which ranks below species, they are usually permanent geographically isolated race. In case of humans there is nothing like complete isolation in case of geographical existance. Humans always mix and interact easily with one another in all environment. Moreover races, what we call people from different parts of the world cannot be called subspecies of the human species because humans do not have too many genetic variations to be classified into subspecies. There is only one species or race that is the human race. Humans are too genetically alike to be split into groups of subspecies.
Hence the correct answer would be a gene flow readily occurs between these regions that is way humans do not have subspecies.
