The 100 Million Year Journey of Ants | From Solitary Wasps to Super Colonies

The 100 Million Year Journey of Ants | From Solitary Wasps to Super Colonies Ants weren't always ants. Over 100 million years ago, their ancestors looked more like solitary wasps than the tiny insects we see today. Since then, evolution has produced terrifying hell ants with scythe-like jaws, fungus-farming civilizations millions of years older than human agriculture, queens that can live for decades, and supercolonies so vast they stretch across continents. In this video, we'll explore the incredible evolutionary story of ants, from the age of dinosaurs to the massive colonies still battling today. You'll discover: The oldest ant ever discovered (113 million years old) The terrifying Hell Ants that vanished forever How ants survived the asteroid that killed the dinosaurs Why ants invented farming 60 million years before humans The secret behind ant queens' extraordinary lifespan Ant colonies where workers fight to become queens The giant Argentine ant supercolonies spanning continents The ongoing ant wars that kill millions every year Evolution doesn't always reward the strongest. Sometimes it rewards the most adaptable.
