Ant evolution

Ant evolution is a process of gradual change over millions of years, where ancestral insects adapted to new environments, developing traits like social behavior, specialization, and complex colonies. Through natural selection, ants became highly organized, with specialized roles such as workers, soldiers, and queens. They evolved from solitary to social insects, often forming large colonies that work efficiently together. Over time, different ant species adapted to diverse habitats worldwide, leading to the incredible diversity we see today. This evolutionary journey reflects how ants have optimized survival strategies through adaptation and cooperation.
