Vetenskap & Religion: Myror med kärnvapen

2007-10-20

 

"Ants in particular are arguably the most aggressive and warlike of all animals. They far exceed human beings in organized nastiness; our species is by comparison geentle and sweet-tempered. The foreign policy aim of ants can be summed up as follows: restless aggression, territiorial conquest, and genocidal annihilitation of neighboring colonies whenever possible. If ants had nuclear weapons, they would probably end the world in a week."  / Edward O Wilson
