The earth went for about 2 or 3 billion years with nothing more complicated than unicellular organisms living on it. I don't see that one billion years of habitability will inevitably lead to complex organisms.
This is not to say that I disagree that Mars needs to be explored; I'm just pessimistic about finding any evidence of complex fossils.
