Re: so can you define macroevolution or not?
From RAZD, message 29:
quote:
For instance, I'll define microevolution (seeing as you agree completely with this process):
Microevolution is the change in the frequency distribution and composition of hereditary traits within breeding populations from generation to generation, in response to ecological challenges and opportunities.
As you can see, it already had been done a while back. If this definition is not yours, correct it. If it's yours, debunk the concept. Please make sure you read everything, even if you don't agree with it, or you dislike the poster. This is the mark of a good debater.

micro-macro mixup
I discovered that in error, I mixed the terms up. However, I think this definition goes for macro-evolution as well. They are the same to science, hence why a misreading earlier caused me to assume he quoted macro- evolution in error. This only demonstrates how vague the line between them is.
Can you define the limits of micro-evolution,where it changes in your ''macro-evolution''.
To science, macro evolution is just the same as micro, only scaled up in time, so the results vary more. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think they share the same definition as a result. So, how is macro-evolution different?
