Answer #1

“macroevolution, however, is a completely different story”

No, it’s not really. You probably don’t even understand what macroevolution means, and no it doesn’t mean that apes gave birth to humans. Evolution is a continuum.

Microevolution is what evolution is, macroevolution is what we see when we look at the big picture- evolution that has taken place over long periods of time.

microevolution + 4 billion years = macroevolution

Of course we can’t directly observe millions of years of evolution, but one place we can see it is in the fossil record.
