Macro-Evolution is the changing from one species to another, otherwise known as Speciation.
When creating a new species, macro-evolution breaks down into two methods. Divergent Evolution and Convergent Evolution. Divergent occurs when small fragments of a population inhabit new areas and become isolated. They then adapt or evolve to their new habitats. For example, back in the 1800's the Galapagos Island finches were separated and moved to different parts of the island. The ones that survive were forced (by natural selection) to develop better suited characteristics to the area that they lived in, to increase their chances of survival. This resulted in all finches having different size and colored beaks. Convergent Evolution occurs when two unrelated species begin to inhabit the same environment and adapt or evolve so they will display similar characteristics. They don't have a common ancestor so the DNA is not related. An example of this would be a duck and platypus bill. They both look relatively the same in shape and size but it did not develop through the same DNA as the duck and platypus are two different species.
