An ant colony is an ideal community, an engineering marvel. They possess such organised hierarchy, systematic building ability, selfless contribution (to name a few), where all ants work as a single track mind.
If we observe an ant colony, we notice that many ants work as drones or workers for the rest of their lives, to ensure the success and survival of the colony. The colony as a whole is regarded as a superorganism, an organism made out of many smaller organisms.
Such superorganism scenario, is it intelligence inheritence or innate instinct?
