I cannot fathom that one species evolves into another. Roughly speaking,
variations within a given species or kind is what I consider microevolution.
Changes from species to species would correspond to macroevolution. There is
some sort of leeway within a species. Of course, a large disturbance may be
said to be necessary to transform a species into another. However, a large
disturbance is more likely to destroy what is there rather than transform it
into another species. It seems that transformation of species is more a
discontinuous rather than a continuous transition. This is all being viewed
at the macroscopic level. The problem can be more complex when viewed at the
microscopic level.
Take care,
Moorad
