The comparisons likening ants to human beings, but more structured and organized is an interesting concept. According to the essay, ants thrive on routine and almost have a sixth sense of intuition. The fact that they work so well among themselves with so few methods of communication is also notable.
Studying different species always fascinates me because it produces a sort of uncanny feeling. Like Johnson mentions with younger colonies acting more fickle than older ones, one can't help but find relations with this compared to humans. The ways the ants work together, although different from humans, still works to achieve the same goal. Although we often have centralized methods of leadership, our methods of labor still remain remarkably similar to that of ants.
