Answer:

I do not agree with that statement.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is true that larger animals (such as humans and elephants, for example) are more complex than small organisms, such as bacteria, at the cellular level. However, we cannot say that the size of these animals states which one is more evolved. In short, evolution is not determined by size, so we cannot say that larger organisms are more evolved than smaller organisms.

Evolution refers to the set of hereditary changes to which living beings are subject, generating genetic variety and diversity. These modifications generate hereditary transformations in the organisms that are related to adaptive processes.
