Ant Navigation Fascinates Engineers
Eric Cassell asks, “How did these complex programmed behaviors originate?” The question deserves a better answer than, “They evolved.”
Irreducible Complexity in Ant Behavior Triggers a Recognition of Intelligent Design
Recent research draws an unapologetic parallel between human engineering and biological systems.
Yes, Ants Think — Like Computers
Computer programmers have adapted some ant problem-solving methods to software programs (but without the need for complex chemical scents).
Animal Algorithms: Ant Foraging Is a “Rational” Behavior
Of course, ants and other animals do not make decisions in a “conscious” manner as humans would. Instead they rely on algorithms.
Not Just Plants — Even Fungi Like Mushrooms — Talk to Each Other?
They are NOT judging us but they do have complex communications systems interacting with their environment.
