I don't buy this thesis at all.
As he put it himself, "Then things started moving fast." It is not
unreasonable to assume that when evolution started to progress at a
faster rate, the added "complexity" at each step grew larger. The
fact that it took less time to develop "solving behavior, language,
expert knowledge and application, and reason" does not imply that they
are "all pretty simple."
