Great example
No, that is not what I want. What you described with the reptile laying an egg with a bird is the "hopeful monster" theory which some have made after rejecting Darwinism. That is not macroevolution.
What I would mean, by a human from a monkey, is a REAl fossil(s) of this transition, one that is valid and relative. I know you believe evolution takes time and goes in steps. So show me the REAL steps of a monkey turning into a human, or something to the sort.
And no, microevolution does not accumulate to make macroevolution. They are two different things. Microevolution, I like to call it "variations within a kind", is those changes that happen within a kind. Macroevolution, real evolution, is when one kind of an organism evolves into a different one.
Whale evolution is a GREAT place to start.
These things you want to see certainly exist.

Re: Great example
That does not show macroevolution. And, if it were true, it would not help evolution, it would show just the opposite, a whale losing legs. While evolution requires GAINING them. This would only prove the point that creatures can't gain new body parts that are not of their kind.
Evolution has no direction or destination.
Implying that evolution requires gaining legs is simply wrong? It shows a profound lack of understanding of the subject.
