Query: evolution misunderstood

Kurzweil's book is based for a large part on the premise that evolution (biological evolution) leads to ever more complex forms as if that is the 'goal' of evolution. Evolution is about mechanisms that perform well with regard to reproduction; nothing more or nothing less. This leads to a wild variety of lifeforms, some complex (and one form of intelligence) and some very simple. But some simple forms survive for millions of years. That is the 'successstory' of evolutin, not an ever growing complexity.
