ANT CIVILIZATION...
Have you ever stepped on an ant hill, destroying it? Mostly everyone has, either on accident or on purpose. Have you ever stayed after the destruction to watch the ant's reaction? I am sure some people have. What you would see if you were to stay is the undeterred desire of the ant to protect, save, and rebuild their society. They have this desire in spite of the inevitable demise of their colony.
Humans also have the desire to protect, save, and rebuild their society if needed. We do this too, with the knowledge of the inevitable end of the universe and our existence in it. Most do not know that ants, like humans are highly social. Anyone who has had the benefit of owning an ant farm will know this. They work in a highly structured society where everyone has a place and does their job.
Here's a fun fact about Ants:-
-- When the queen of the colony dies, the colony can only survive a few months. Queens are rarely replaced and the workers are not able to reproduce.
When an ant dies, its nestmates quickly pack it off. That way, the risk to the colony of infection is reduced.
All ants, both living and dead, have the "death chemicals" continually, but live ants have them along with other chemicals associated with life — the "life chemicals." When an ant dies, its life chemicals dissipate or are degraded, and only the death chemicals remain."It's because the dead ant no longer smells like a living ant that it gets carried to the graveyard, not because its body releases new, unique chemicals after death,
"Ants are not only efficient, they are hard-working and thrifty, qualities which have always seemed like good reasons for seeing them as virtuous role models."
