On ant intelligence:
Ants are more intelligent than you'd anticipate given the number of neurons in their little brains. Is there is something more sophisticated & refined about their little bundles of gray matter?
What would a brain, human sized, but of ant design be capable of? Tremendous built-in memories & skills? (every ant in a colony is able to do every job, though they are often physically suited best to a particular role.)
Ants can also grow & shrink the size of their brains.
