This was an interesting interview. I did not know that there were so many different kinds of ants. It is both impressive and frightening. I will try to read the book from Bernard Weber, but I should read other books before.
ReplyDeleteI found your presentation very interesting, it has tackled some points I wasn't aware of. It's amazing to see how ants behave and how it creates a coherent system and a hierarchy which allow them to be more productive!
ReplyDeleteKeep up the good work :p
I really liked your presentation.
ReplyDeleteHowever I think ants are but a very specific example of super organism, which is a very wide and interesting topic. It's intrinsically linked to a concept called "emergence phenomenon" which isn't even limited to biology : it also appears in many fields, especially computer science, with genetics algorithms and AI as well.
It's truly fascinating how the human mind manages to find inspiration from watching the real world (eg ants), and use it to deal with very abstract problems.
