Question

Are humans monotypic?

Answer 1

Humans (Homo sapiens) is a highly intelligent primate species. They are the only extant members of the subtribe Hominina, which is part of the family Hominidae, along with chimps, gorillas, and orangutans (the great apes, or hominids). Humans are terrestrial animals distinguished by their erect posture and bipedal locomotion, as well as their high manual dexterity and heavy tool use in comparison to other animals.

Complete answer:
A monotypic taxon is a taxonomic group (taxon) in biology that contains only one immediately subordinate taxon. A monotypic species lacks subspecies or smaller, infraspecific taxa. When referring to general, the terms "unspecific" or "nonspecific" are sometimes used. A monotypic genus is a genus in which both a genus and a single species are described at the same time in botanical nomenclature. An oligotrophic taxon, on the other hand, contains more than one but only a few subordinate taxa.

Just as the term monotypic is used to describe a taxon with only one subdivision, the contained taxon can also be referred to as monotypic within the higher-level taxon, for example, a genus monotypic within a family. Examples of monotypic groups include: The only species in the order Tubulidentata is the aardvark.

There is only one family, Amborellaceae, one genus, Amborella, and one species, Amborella trichopoda, in the order Amborellales.The Cephalotaceae family contains only one genus, Cephalotus, and one species, Cephalotus follicularis, also known as the Albany pitcher plant.The hyacinth macaw, Anodorhynchus hyacinthinus, is a monotypic species with no subspecies that have been distinguished within the species.

Yes, humans are thought to be monotypic. For example, regardless of race or ethnicity, all humans have the same binomial name: Homo sapiens. In other words, because there isn't much genetic variation among humans, there aren't any subspecies.

Thus, Humans are monotypic.

Note: The cream-spotted cardinalfish, Oz Ichthys albomaculosus, is the type species of the monotypic genus Ozichthys, which is found in tropical Australia and southern New Guinea.
The only species in the monotypic genus Breonadia is the flowering plant Breonadia salicina. The only species in the genus Nandina is the flowering plant Nandina Domestica. The only species in the monotypic genus Eu is the madrone butterfly Eucheira.
