DNA expression can even go "backwards" if it can re-adapt. I evolution in terms of the physical molecule of DNA in action through time.This appears to be a long refutation of your original claim. If "complexity" as you;ve defined it is the direction, except evolution can go the opposite direction..in what sense is "complexity" the direction of evolution, again?
Quote:The human animal informs me of a preferred direction in DNA development. We have great power to manipulate our environment and we do it towards the preservation of our species over time. The same thrust of Life can be found in the greater complexity/gain of civilization over time. The same can be experienced personal as the maturation of consciousness from child to adult.I bet the dinosaurs thought they were hot shit too, for whatever they saw in themselves and defined as their "complexity". Or, at least, they would have, if they werent so damned inhumanly dumb. I;m not really sure that the biological complexity of an orgaqnism (however it;s defined) has much to say about the relative successes and failures of groups of the same organisms.
The civilizations that succeed don't do so because they, or their inhabitants, are "more complex" than other human beings or civilizations..but at least you're tripling down on the crazy while simultaneously arguing against it.
I mean as in the case of the peppered moth when environmental pressure forced it to change "back" to it's original color.
Stupid dinosaurs? I blame the higher atmospheric pressure and abundance of food.

I should find or make a better word...complexity in the form of over-accumulation tends to stall out any system, living or not.
