Societies as Organisms

In this articles, Lewis praises the authors of books on insect behaviors because of how they go in depth to differentiate the uniqueness of insects . In one of the more fascinating comparison in the article, Lewis compares ants to humans and shows how much o an embarrassment that we in so many ways are like ants. Ants farm and they raise livestock, which sounds very familiar to what we do. Ants form armies and fight in battles and uses chemical sprays as a weapon to confuse their enemies which sounds like us humans we form countries and wages war on each but instead of sprays we use guns to kill each other. Lewis also point out a funny but yet sad compassion. Ants capture slaves, something that humans have started since the ancient times and it still has not changed.
