definition of microevolution doesn't match the description of bacteria
Line 12: Line 12:     
The paragraph about microevolution dealing with "micro" organisms and macroevolution dealing with "macro" organisms is completely ridiculous and should be removed. --[[User:ColinR|ColinR]] 23:47, 11 March 2007 (EDT)

I think that his article is confusing because the definition of microevolution doesn't match the description of bacteria very well. In particular, the discussion of bacteria includes horizontal gene transfer but the preceding text does not. When "bacteria can pass genes for antibiotic resistance between strains and even between species", is that microevolution or not? [[User:RSchlafly|RSchlafly]] 14:27, 5 April 2007 (EDT)
