Micro or Macro?
An Evolution of Color

We can all agree (save for the severely color blind) that this text is red.

We can also similarly agree that this text is blue.

If we start with red text, and change the color a tiny amount with each new word, the changes, while certainly very slight, are still very real. We'll call this microevolution. Every word so far can be considered red; With subtle changes of hue. However, would anybody be able to tell simply by looking, which word in this paragraph is no longer red, but actually purple, or even blue? All this microevolution keeps occuring with each word. All the tiniest changes in hue will ultimately add up to a completely different color. This represents a whole new species, in our analogy. That's macroevolution. A common misunderstanding is that macroevolution means a dog is born from a different, canine-like species, or even a cat coming from a dog. Evolution doesn't work like that. There really is only one distinction between microevolution and macroevolution. That distinction is their prefixes: micro and macro. Microscopic usually requires a microscope to be seen, because it's so small. Macroscopic things are large enough to be seen by the unaided human eye. However, both sizes are completely visible, and planely exist. As you read this, can you tell me the first word that's blue, and not purple? After all, every change in color since the first word has only micro evolved from the color of the word before it. Still, we've managed to macro evolve through two obviously different colors. I hope this will show how it's not just possible —but obvious that macroevolution happens, when microevolution is given enough time to work.
