Changes

'''Microevolution''', broadly defined, is the inevitable small-scale changes in [[allele]] frequencies in a population within the same species.  Under this broad definition, this change in overall allele frequencies occurs with every birth or death of a member of the species.  In other words, some generations of people might be taller than the last or shorter than the last based on the number of individuals who happen to have the "tall" gene. Microevolution does not involve changing from one [[kind]] to another, and it does not create new kinds.

Many evolutionists, although not all, claim that the distinction between microevolution and [[macroevolution]] is arbitrary because they indicate that microevolution leads to [[macroevolution]]ary changes.  In other words, as microevolutionary changes accumulate it leads to macroevolution. However, there have been prominent evolutionists who dispute this matter and argue that the mechanisms underlying microevolution cannot be [[Extrapolation|extrapolated]] to support the general theory of evolution (macroevolution).<ref>http://www.creationworldview.org/articles_view.asp?id=116</ref>.<ref>http://bioinfo.med.utoronto.ca/Evolution_by_Accident/Macroevolution.html</ref> [[Creationism|Creationists]] argue that microevolution/adaptation/variation within a [[Baraminology|kind of animal]] occurs, but macroevolution does not occur.
