Summary Introduction
To explain: The relationship between microevolution and macroevolution.
Introduction: Evolution is a very important process in the living world. Evolution is a process where change occurs in living things over a period of time; these changes are successfully inherited and passed on to future generations. Evolutionary changes take place in two different perspectives: microevolution and macroevolution.
