also, i've seen the two confused almost everytime i see evolution explained. people think that an animal keeps mutating until it becomes a whole new species.
:rolleyes: Tell me about it. Its all one straight line from the fishies to homo sapies. /sarcasm

That's how they teach it in school, isn't that sad?

I mean, its more of a branching tree that if you follow the jagged line down one side, jumping from species to species, you'll eventually get down to us.

But you brought up a good point - if biological evolution is going to be taught, the differences between macro- and micro-evolution should be emphasized.
