#1 In this case it's group selection, all part of evolution.

#4 Group selection is not part of evolution. Ant colonies are cases of kin selection, which is simply gene selection (the only selection that counts) operating across multiple closely-related organisms.

Oh.. i think we humans have proved over and over again that quantity is always better than quality.

Honeypot ants! I'd never heard of these strange things before.

#1 Sad? Ants have been at war longer than the first Homo-Sapiens took their first breath... If you look at it this way... they have killed dozens and dozens of more of their kind than Humanity's weight put together hundreds of times over.. We have only been on earth for a fraction of it's existence.... even though we do have wars and people are evil as fuck all around us we are closer to putting all that behind us... if you look at it in a timeline sort of way... we are pretty badass..

And people say women aren't vengeful. Look at that Queen ant, she dominated another colony because it was going to be cold out. Haha

#10 In fact, eusocial organisms like ants are no case of kin selection. its only the queen's genome that is subject to selection.

her genome is directly competing with that of the other hive's queen. this concept is referred to as a superorganism. the concept of kin selection is not entirely true (see wilson, hölldöbler)
