what is the correct definition of macroevolution @alphadxg
Macroevolution is evolution on a scale of separated gene pools. Wiki It's pretty much just changes that occur within species that is studied over long periods of times.
thanks
No. Macroevolution is changes that lead to speciation. Microevolution is changes that result in allele frequency changes but not speciation.
@mestas303 @alphadxg
Oh, the "separate gene pools" is basically the same as the biological species concept with a bit of the phylogenetic species concept mixed in.
macroevolution [ ˌmakrō-evəˈlo͞oSHən, -ˌēvə- ] NOUN biology major evolutionary change. The term applies mainly to the evolution of whole taxonomic groups over long periods of time. You know you can look it up on the enternet as well
