What's to explain? "Irreducible" doesn't refer to the degree of the complexity.

I wanted you to explain how a progenitor race would evolve from non-living matter into a race far more advanced than us, yet retain reducable systems.

Why shouldn't they retain reducible systems? Increasing complexity in no way implies or requires a shift from reducible complexity to irreducible complexity.
