Microevolution and Speciation

In the online text we are learning some interesting things about macroevolution and speciation.

These are some kick-off questions for the discussion. You can answer one or two of them, or propose your own questions based on the reading.

What is macroevolution?
What is speciation? How do new species arise?
What is a mass extinction? Why would/does it happen?
What is a taxonomy of an organism? What is phylogeny?

What did you think of these sections? Are the sections making you think about genetic diversity and the evolution of species over our planet's time?
