The seventh and final stage of the theory is "Micro Evolution." Micro Evolution
is the variation and variety of traits expressed in sexually compatible "kinds" of
organisms. Examples include the differences between various kinds of horses,
dogs, cats, etc. This "variation within a kind" is what Darwin observed in the mid1800's, and what we still observe today...
