Synopsis : Did you know that some ants cultivate fungi gardens? Or raise aphids as working livestock? Or make vaccines to avoid disease? Or that scientists estimate that there are ten quadrillions of ants in the world, or one million ants for every human alive today? This book on the workers, soldiers, and slavemakers of the insect world reveals all these secrets and more. Fascinating yet commonplace animals, ants have astonishing similarities to humans. They have developed forms of communication, social organization, and division of labor. They establish gardens, keep stores, move from one abode to another, wage wars, and turn other ants into slaves, who in turn attempt to rebel. They even create defenses against the pathogens that threaten them. Like bees, ants form astoundingly complex societies, and they have an astonishingly long history: ants existed at the same time as the dinosaurs. The lengthy tale of their evolution gives a sense of scale to humans? own empire-building and destroying.
