Re: "Real" ringworlds
So what were getting at is this:
Evolution (of any sort) can only apply once you have an (living?) organism that can copy itself almost perfectly (doesnt have to be a cell or anything we recognise today)
Micro evolution is short term, such as differences between wild and tame farm animals. It is evolution within the same "species"
Macro evolution is evolution over long term, such as differences between birds and mammals, plants and animals. Evolution between "species"
NB: I dont like the word "species", its not very accurate over evolutionary time. But i cant think of a better term.
