After the initial discovery of introns in protein-coding genes of the eukaryotic nucleus, there was significant debate as to whether introns in modern-day organisms were inherited from a common ancient ancestor ( termed the introns-early hypothesis ), or whether they appeared in genes rather recently in the evolutionary process ( termed the introns-late hypothesis ).

The term " macroevolution " frequently arises within the context of the evolution / creation debate, usually used by creationists alleging a significant difference between the evolutionary changes observed in field and laboratory studies and the larger scale macroevolutionary changes that scientists believe to have taken thousands or millions of years to occur.

Anthropologist John D. Hawks expresses the view that rather than explaining human traits simply and parsimoniously, it actually requires two explanations for each trait-first that proximity to water drove human evolution enough to significantly change the human phenotype and second that there was significant evolutionary pressure beyond mere phylogenetic inertia to maintain these traits ( which would not be adaptive on dry land ) and points out that exaptation is not an adequate reply.

The most significant evolutionary theory before Darwin's was that of Jean-Baptiste Lamarck ; based on the inheritance of acquired characteristics ( an inheritance mechanism that was widely accepted until the 20th century ), it described a chain of development stretching from the lowliest microbe to humans.

Since the 1990s, evolutionary computation has largely become swarm-based computation, and nature-inspired algorithms are becoming an increasingly significant part.

Phylogeographic analyses have also played an important role in defining evolutionary significant units ( ESU ), a unit of conservation below the species level that is often defined on unique geographic distribution and mitochondrial genetic patterns.

Second, two proteins that share a significant degree of sequence similarity either with each other or with a third sequence also share an evolutionary origin and should share some structural features also.
