I think yes it is a great metric the most complex and therefore "advanced" organism on earth is Daphnia pulex it makes sense as they are Blupes

D. pulex has a long genome due to gene duplication, so it's not really a counterexample to the hypothesis.

but seriously is the difference between us and the other apes our functional non-redundant DNA per genome or the qualities of our phenome?

then I will have to come down as one opposed to the metric as it does not put my favorite on top.
