What had seemed (to countless generations of obervers) to be nothing more than the meaningless spasmodic motions of a dumb animal was actually a complex message.

划线部分为名词关系分句作主语。其中what=the thing which. 括号中的红色部分为关系分句中的状语，意为：在...看来。to be nothing more than...= 只不过是...。had seemed to be nothing more than...似乎只不过是...。

直译：

那些在无数代观察者看来似乎只是不会发声的动物的无意义的痉挛性动作，实际是一种复杂的信息。
