August Weismann (1834-1914). The Smallest Unit of Evolution. A common misconception is that organisms evolve during their lifetimes. Natural selection acts on individuals, but only populations evolve. Consider, for example, a population of medium ground finches on Daphne Major Island. Macroevolution/Microevolution.
