microevolution vs. macroevolution
Line 1: Line 1: −
'''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.

Evolutionists have argued that the distinction between microevolution and [[macroevolution]] is arbitrary because it is the same process.
