Cockroaches are the pinnacle of evolution
...Are sharks less evolved than primates?Apparently not, until one species happens to pass a certain threshold of intelligence. At that point, history tells us that it became very desirable for us. So I guess one species has to first stumble onto that one developmental pathway & reach that threshold level where more intelligence is better. Up until that point, a runaway evolution of increasing intelligence is not necessarily desirable at all.Is complexity a desirable trait and simplicity undesireable, in the grand scheme of things?
