On this ID the Future from the vault, biologist Ralph Seelke describes his evolution research at the University of Wisconsin-Superior and explains the difference between microevolution and macroevolution. He explains why his lab results on bacteria suggest that evolution is extremely limited in the kind of progress it can achieve.
