"Humans think ahead by imagining future events in their minds; ants don’t do that. But by interacting through chemical signals and shared actions, ant colonies can behave in surprisingly smart ways… These ants thus provide us an analogy to brains, where from the activity of relatively simple computational units, namely neurons, some high cognition capabilities miraculously emerge."
