The evolution of the species? Homo sapiens seem rather complex.

Perhaps what we'll see is that over time, large portions of what have been long list of pedantic instructions become decision models that get tweaked over time. Imagine when referring to the size of a software system using two numbers: MLOCs and MDPs (Matured Decision Points). Not unlike industrial revolution assembly lines compared to the automated factories of today — modern factory workers are some degrees removed from the step-by-step movements.
