Mudanças entre as edições de "Geographic isolation"

Edição das 10h03min de 30 de março de 2017

Spatial or geographical isolation is the kind of isolation that prevents interbreeding between allopatric people because they are physically separated. This isolation persists for a long time and could lead people/populations to differentiate morphologically in response to check for different environments. If the geographic barrier disappeared two situations may happen:
a) populations may return to interbreeding thus forming a single population;
b) whether the geographical isolation continues for a sufficiently long period, populations may differentiate such that the interbreeding between them is no longer possible, thus appearing reproductive isolation.
