Micro-evolution is not only a part of macro-evolution, it is the same mechanism as macro-evolution. Macro-evolution includes speciation, as a result of continuing micro-evolution.

Macro evolution is just speciation, so you are a form of macro evolution. We and the chimpanzees have a common ancestor that we split from about 6 million years ago. We became Homo sapiensand they became Pan troglodytes.
Evolution is sometimes described as macro-evolution, which is the long-term evolution of an entire new species, and micro-evolution, which is largely to do with less significant evolutionary changes within a species. Many creationists accept the existence of micro-evolution, but say that macro-evolution does not occur.
The fossil record
An example of macro-evolution is the appearance of feathers during the evolution of birds from theropod dinosaurs.

Macro-evolution. Or, more accurately, speciation.
i dunno which is which but they evolve with the kind that is just due to a degrading birth defect or mutation for the worse cuz "evolution" is false!

Some would call that microevolution. I would not. Some divide evolution into micro and macro. Evolutionary biologists prefer to use the terms evolution and speciation.
Micro evolution refers to small-scale changes in gene frequencies within a population over a short period of time, while macro evolution involves large-scale changes that result in the formation of new species over long periods of time. Both processes involve genetic variation and natural selection, but the difference lies in the scale and time frame of the changes observed.
Yes, speciation is an example of micro-evolution in organisms. It refers to the process by which distinct species evolve from a common ancestor through the accumulation of genetic differences over time. This gradual divergence can lead to the formation of new species that are reproductively isolated from one another.
