The whole concept of Macro-evolution is one of history. If we look at a series and select two points that are sufficiently far apart, we may be able to see Macro-Evolution has happened. However, it is far less likely that anyone would ever see Macro-Evolution in adjacent or even relatively close points in the series.
Evolution lineages are like a spectrum.
When we look at the spectrum, there are areas where we can say it is definitely red, or yellow, or green, or blue, or violet, but there are areas in between that are blue-green or orange or kinda redish.
We we look at sections that are close together they are more similar than when we look at sections that are further apart.
Macro-Evolution is nothing more than looking at a selection of critters that are far apart on the historical spectrum we call lineage.
