But it's not equal. It's not a 50/50 chance that a species would evolve to be either more complex or simpler, it depends on the pressures that the environment puts on the species and thus, only the ones that are able to adapt best will be able reproduce.

Kind of like how the snakes lost their legs when they didn't need them anymore, or other examples of unneeded appendages withering away.
