I agree! I don’t love using the word “primitive.” But in cases where I would normally say “basal” I tend to say primitive because no one knows what basal means I don’t want to have to explain everything you just did everytime I say basal 😅

I used it once in a discussion with an anthropologist and she disabused me of that notion quite fast. Glad to have learned my lesson long time ago

Primitive means first : one need the former ones to get the laters.

Useless change of vocabulary

I totally understand your point but I need a good replacement that non biologists can understand.

Evolution has definitely added complexity to the whole system as time has marched on - as more and more groups of living things evolved - but within each group sometimes complexity is added, and sometimes lost! Also, it is hard to agree on how to define and measure complexity!
