FRAGMENT FROM NATURE. It is generally thought that evolution is the march towards greater structural and genetic complexity. Not quite so simple. Genetic outsourcing during genetic streamlining is deceptive. It actually increases genetic complexity, and amplifies gene capabilities by appropriation of host genes during the symbiotic or parasitic lifestyle, not just being genetic simplification or genome reduction. Remember the reversal of polyploidy during plant evolution?
