I've heard it said from some that Macroevolution is a much different and more complex process than Microevolution. (Some creationists would say it's impossible)I've also heard it said that they are essentially the same process, most notably by Crashfrog....

So how different is Micro/Macroevolution.

major, or really large, selection level would be surviving the K-T extinction event.
Yeah that's what I was thinking he meant (something along that line)but it seems to me that they both affect the population and the individual. I can't really think of any selection that would affect the population much differently than the individual.
