But I don't see anything going the other way, become less complex, and I want to know why. Me losing my tail doesn't count, or a proto-dog taking back to the water and eventually ending up as a seal- those are adaptations - they are not less complex. The drive is still upwards to more complexity.
Thanks for all the feedback

Would you consider losing eyesight 'upwards to more complexity'?
