Can someone please help me on this quick question !!! Habitat isolation, temporal isolation, behavioral isolation, & mechanical isolation. Consider the reproductive isolating mechanisms described above. Do any of these apply to human beings?

the 2nd one

Thank you but can u kind of describe how does it does it apply to a human being ? please !!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

• HABITAT ISOLATION occurs when two species occupy different habitats, even within the same geographic range, so that they are less likely to meet and to attempt to reproduce. • TEMPORAL ISOLATION occurs when two species live in the same location, but each reproduces at a different time of the year, preventing a successful mating and gene flow between the populations. • BEHAVIORAL ISOLATION occurs when there are differences in mating behavior between two species. • MECHANICAL ISOLATION is the result of differences between two species in reproductive structures or other body parts, so that mating is prevented. Hope that helps a bit.
