Evolution always leads to more complex organisms.

Recorded sources
0 sources for · 5 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that evolution always leads to more complex organisms?

No. Reference works and a textbook state that evolution has no intrinsic direction toward complexity and does not always lead to more complex organisms, with simple life remaining dominant. This directly contradicts the claim that evolution always leads to more complex organisms.
