Which is the whole point of microevolution not really being evolution (there is a phase between the two, micro and macro but that's beyond the lifetime of humans...that phase is where you get great differentiation in a species but not to the point where it starts to evolve into a new species). It just takes care of itself....the beauty of Darwinian mechanics.
No that is just a means of categorising the effects, it is not the thing itself. Evolution is about all the tiny accumulative effects.
