Can we call human evolution as adaptive radiation?

No, human evolution cannot be called adaptive radiation, because adaptive radiation is an evolutionary process that produces new species from a common species, rapidly diversifying lineage, which is not the case with human evolution. Human evolution was a gradual process that took place slowly in time.
