The Superorganism

Sure, they have a bad reputation for ruining picnics, but there's more to ants than that. According to sociobiologist Bert Hölldobler, they have complex societies and behaviors, and they live by intricate rules of social order. This Friday we'll talk with Dr. Hölldobler about the lives of insects - and what they can teach us about our own social behavior - in a live broadcast from the IdeaFestival.
