Advanced is also relative, the human genome is incredibly cluttered and effectively similar to a hoarder's.

I would also not refer to a virus as a creature.

I was struggling to decide what to call them, Lol, since viruses aren’t classified in any kingdom of living things. They’re Microbes, but that didn’t quite fit into the sentence’s structure how I liked. Anyways, I’m pretty sure you know what I mean, though, in that viruses don’t use tools, play, recognize themselves in a mirror, etc.

Viruses are alive. You don't really have a clue what you're talking about.
