5. Considering everything that is going on around us, if speciation can happen right now so that your species can then pursue another kind or way of life, describe the life that you would want and how different would it be compared to our present species. Do you think you would be more successful than our present species? How?

What is the difference between micro- and macroevolution? Microevolution describes the evolution of small organisms, such as insects, while macroevolution describes the evolution of large organisms, like people and elephants Microevolution describes the evolution of microscopic entities, such as molecules and proteins, while macroevolution describes the evolution of whole organisms Microevolution describes the evolution of organisms in populations, while macroevolution describes the evolution of species over long periods of time Microevolution describes the evolution of organisms over their lifetimes, while macroevolution describes the evolution of organisms over multiple generations.
