1984 & A/S/K revisited

[downbeatplumb]

You think I haven't researched this? Provide me with some transitional fossil examples and laboratory evidence of macroevolution.

I find your lack of education disturbing.

List of transitional fossils by no means comprehensive.

Within the Modern Synthesis school of thought, macroevolution is thought of as the compounded effects of microevolution.[8] Thus, the distinction between micro- and macroevolution is not a fundamental one – the only difference between them is of time and scale. As Ernst W. Mayr observes, "transspecific evolution is nothing but an extrapolation and magnification of the events that take place within populations and species...it is misleading to make a distinction between the causes of micro- and macroevolution”.[8] However, time is not a necessary distinguishing factor – macroevolution can happen without gradual compounding of small changes; whole-genome duplication can result in speciation occurring over a single generation - this is especially common in plants.

It is interesting to note that the same mechanisms that drive micro-evolution also drive macro-evolution. Whereas micro-evolution can be observed (insect resistance to insecticides, bacterial resistance to antibiotics etc.), macro-evolution cannot be studied directly. Evidence for macro-evolution comes from a study of fossils, comparative anatomy, comparative embryology, comparative molecular studies and biogeography (which is the geographical distribution of species). Although this is all indirect evidence, it is factually overwhelming and supports the theory of evolution.
