Question 2: Should ants also have thoughts? I remember reading a book called Exploration of Alien Civilization a long time ago. It not only clearly tells you the vastness and infinity of the universe-there is a milky way outside the solar system, there are black holes outside the milky way, and any black hole is a bigger solar system or milky way ... It also provides many ideas: human beings will one day realize their dream of interstellar travel, spend their holidays on the moon, build villas on Jupiter and Mars ... More importantly, it reminds people to imagine that if other planets are civilized, there will be life with higher intelligence than human beings! This reminder made me think a lot of questions: Do you think, if there is really a life higher than human beings, will people still be so arrogant? Just like if an ant is conscious and thinking, it must feel insignificant. There are people on this earth! People can build airplanes and spaceships, and we ants have been carrying these things all our lives. The mountain in our eyes is actually a small pimple in people's eyes. Let's make some cockroach legs and steamed bread residue as delicious food! In the eyes of human beings, it is rubbish. In the same way, if there is higher intelligent life in the universe, we humans are ants. The skyscrapers we built are nothing but dust in their eyes; Building a spaceship just saves a few cockroach legs. Later, this book became chicken soup for my soul. Whenever I feel disappointed, neglected, despised and left out, I just pick it out and turn it over. Suddenly, you enter an endless world, where the earth, the sun and the milky way are as small as dust. The building you live in, your little faults, your enemies you can't get through, and everything that bothers you are hard to find with a high-powered microscope. The most familiar old saying is: there is no one in the world, and the earth turns as usual. In fact, even without the earth, the universe and nature will run as usual.
Question 3: Do ants have their own thoughts? Except for single-celled organisms, all animals have thoughts, but some rely on brains and some rely on ganglia.
Most cats fight with birds, dogs, mice, etc. Domestic cats will take the initiative to be kind to people to get food, beg their owners when they are sad, and wild cats will choose their own hidden nesting sites; Will choose a spouse; Will raise children; Just because the cat is not interested in you, do you think he has no thoughts?
Cats can dream!
Question 4: Do ants have thinking ability? Science has proved that millions of years before the appearance of modern human beings, ants were carrying out many social innovations: division of labor, cooperation, farming and even slavery. In fact, these characteristics have reached the extreme in some ant populations. Therefore, some people think that the acquisition of this ability is not unrelated to its tens of millions of years of development history. Further research by biologists has found that ants have achieved an interdependent organizational system through cross-breeding. It is this dependence that makes them an organized force.
And how is the process of ants, an interdependent organizational system, realized in the execution of specific tasks? Scientists have explained this through research, saying that ants leave a chemical called pheromone wherever they go, and other ants can use these chemicals to judge whether their route is correct, because the greater the concentration of this substance, the more ants pass by, which means that this is a more reasonable route.
To put it more vividly, when the ant colony is looking for food, it will send some ants to wander around separately. If the ant finds food, it will return to its nest to inform its companions and leave "pheromones" along the way as a sign for the ant colony to go to the food place. Pheromones will gradually evaporate. If two ants find the same food at the same time and return to the nest by different routes, the smell of pheromone will be lighter on the winding road, and the ant colony will tend to follow another shorter route to the food position.
In fact, ants don't just rely on releasing pheromones as signposts. Recently, scientists have made new discoveries. How do ants use geometry knowledge when releasing hormones doesn't work? In ant society, worker ants are responsible for collecting food. In a dangerous environment, ants must know how to locate themselves. There is no doubt that ants lay out food and route networks by releasing pheromones, but researchers have continuously found that in pheromone networks, the angles of the two pheromones are between 50 degrees and 60 degrees. Scientists suspect that this is the real secret for ants to find their way. Scientists have come to the conclusion through experiments that if the fork angle is between 0 degrees and 120 degrees, ants will not be able to correctly identify the route. It seems that 50-60 degrees is the geometric angle for ants to find their way.
In terms of "traffic", ants can always find the shortest route for their own goods transportation, and even after the road is blocked unexpectedly, they can quickly find another most suitable route. This enlightens scientists whether they can solve some problems facing mankind at present.
So American scientists immediately thought that they could develop a new computer calculation method based on the way ants look for food. The Swiss believe that the route of oil tankers can be arranged according to this algorithm; Based on this, BT arranges the best path of signal transmission in the communication network to improve communication efficiency.
We can know that the thinking of ants is unimaginable.
Question 5: Can ants think by smell? In fact, like the human brain, the memory problem of animals is still an unsolved problem in academic circles, which cannot be explained by the simple answer of smell.
Question 6: Do ants have thoughts? Please tell us what you think. It is a pig.
Of course there is.
Don't look at ants.
Don't move until you know it is raining.
I'm not like you.
Always take an umbrella when it rains.
Sweat ~ ~! ! !
Question 7: Are there feelings between ants? Emotion is actually a kind of human thought. Ants and other creatures are not human beings, and have no human thinking, so there is no human "emotion".
The emotional behavior between animals and between animals and people should be "imposed" by people from their own thinking angle. For example, the dog nurses of tigers in the zoo are infected with familiar smells, not their own feelings. In fact, they all move by their own survival rules.
Question 8: Do animals have thoughts? There are many kinds of this statement. Yes, western sociobiology school uses group selection theory based on biological selfish gene theory to explain various social behaviors of human beings, and thinks that the shape, structure, type and even system of human society are all caused by the manipulation and control of biological genes. They think that sociality is just a general attribute of living things. Under the influence of this trend of thought, some scholars began to observe and analyze the animal world deeply, and thought that sociality was really not a patent of human beings. In addition, people think that animals also have their own culture and ideas. Enlightenment of tit pecking open In the 1950s, on a sunny morning, a tit pecked open the bottle cap of a milk bottle placed at the door of a family. A few weeks later, all the tits there learned this bottle opening technique and passed it on from generation to generation. People began to realize that these tits have a very complicated interaction. This phenomenon immediately triggered a global debate. This is also the first time that humans have begun to discuss widely whether animals also have culture. Later, scientists turned their attention to primates. They found that the apes in Guinea could take the ants out of the hole with a stick and put them directly into their mouths, while the apes in Gombe, Tanzania lured the ants to a branch and then kneaded them into "meatballs" and put them into their mouths. Apes in West Africa also beat walnuts on slates or boards with stone hammers. Take out the walnut kernel inside ... Anatomy and biology have long proved that humans and apes have 95% of the same DNA, but almost everyone once thought that culture belongs to the category of non-genetic factors, and creating and owning culture is a unique feature of human beings. British scientists have studied the behavior of African apes in recent years and concluded that 39 main behavioral differences between African apes can only be obtained through acquired learning. Several professors at Stanford University were not born, but have been tracking 300 ant colonies for 20 years. The results show that group life has changed the behavior of these ants, and their behavior varies with age: the younger group will be more aggressive and antagonistic than the previous generation, while the older group will be more cautious and pay more attention to diplomacy. "Because the life span of ants is only one year, they are likely to pass on the' wisdom' created by the previous generation from generation to generation in some special way. Zoologists also found that a group of Japanese monkeys can learn from each other the skills of cleaning food. Now, similar situations have been reported all over the world, and the research on animal culture has begun to spread to all species: minnows and rainbow fish can follow their companions to find the best escape route or the fastest food passage; Crows can learn from each other to make and use tools to catch food; In many areas, singing birds even created "dialects"
Like humans, animals are influenced by other companions in their lives. When animals make important choices, they will observe their companions and refer to the behavior of other animals. Most scientists used to think that this learning ability was caused by the genes that animals gradually possessed during the evolution of species. However, there is no doubt that more and more examples prove that human beings are not the only animals that can create culture and pass it on. Other animals may also have this ability. Chimpanzees can know themselves in the mirror, look at their teeth in the mirror, and turn around to look at their backs. Sometimes they even make themselves up in front of the mirror! When they wake up, if they find paint spots on their ears, these orangutans will look at their fingers. Octopus can take crabs out of the jar with its 500 million neurons and multiple arms. Dolphins can imitate divers and purr (just like bubbles in diving suits)
All this shows that animals also have self-awareness, they also express their attitudes, learn skills, create life, and even lie! Culture liberates human beings from the jungle and animal instinct, and makes countless decisions: whether it is to choose charming clothes, or to choose beloved partners, occupations and even beliefs. Animals are not stupid, but they have their own unique thinking ability, magical premonition ability, amazing creativity, learning ability and adaptability.
