Hölldobler & Wilson

Hölldobler and Wilson are renowned biologists known for their work on social insects, especially ants. They studied how ant colonies operate as superorganisms, with complex cooperation, communication, and division of labor among workers, soldiers, and queens. Their research revealed that ants work collectively to find food, defend their nest, and care for their young, demonstrating advanced social organization. Their influential book, *The Ants*, highlights how these tiny creatures are highly organized societies that can teach us about cooperation and collective problem-solving in nature.
