Quote:Macroevolutionary studies focus on change that occurs at or above the level of species, in contrast with microevolution, which refers to smaller evolutionary changes within a species or population.

Indeed macro evolution is the same thing as micro, I didn't say otherwise I just failed to clarify that, but macro kicks in once the species is a new species. I however, do not believe macro evolution to be true the point of micro evolution and adaptation is for the survival of the species. So why would something evolve into something that its predecessor cant mate with?
Finally, If it is just gradual change over a long period of time like humans and apes coming from a common ancestor then why cant we mate with monkeys even though we came from the same source? This extends to all life if we all came from a common ancestor then shouldn't dogs be able to breed with pigs and people with dolphins? On the few cases that different species can breed they offspring is always sterile. And if its just that they eventually became so different that they can't breed then why did that happen?
These are legitimate questions that I've had.
