The Four forces of Evolution Evolution is divided into two categories macroevolution and microevolution; macroevolution focuses on the formation of a new species‚ while microevolution focuses on the change in allele frequencies in a population (47). The process of evolution has four forces‚ mutation‚ gene flow‚ genetic drift‚ and natural selection. Evolution is caused by the isolation of populations which leads to variation and eventually speciation. A population is a group of individuals within
