This one seems reasonable:

   Macroevolution refers to evolution of groups larger than an individual.
   Macroevolution encompasses the grandest trends and transformations in
   evolution, such as the origin of mammals and the radiation of flowering
   plants.

And micro does indeed lead to macro. Quantum leaps in evolution aren't common.
