Abstract: Modern biology is ambivalent about the notion of evolutionary progress. Although most evolutionists understand large-scale macroevolution as a process that generated observable qualitative differences between organisms of different evolutionary levels, the term progress is usually avoided. The term carries some historical burden because it is problematic within the modern view of evolution, but at its core it expresses a central aspect of evolution that cannot be ignored if it is intended to build a fairly complete view of the evolutionary process coming close to reality.
