I also thought it was interesting how the ants had a cemetery for their dead. When really they are just doing these things by instinct of what their genetic genes tell them to do. It is weird that the ants do these jobs without being told to do them and that everything all seems to have been organized by the governing ant such as the Queen, who made the plans for the jobs or that, controlled the colony. Because of a joined team effort they all get food. Such as the example of the ants all doing their little jobs that may seem worthless but without the ants doing these jobs the colony won’t survive. It is so true how every part of a complex system has its own way of working and it doesn’t need any one or thing to tell it how to do its job. “The Myth of the Ant Queen” by Steven Johnson was an interesting essay on complex systems.
