Scientists believe that the image of ants working seriously is a lesson for people about working together in groups to make the best decision.

Ants work hard.

Researchers at Arizona State University, USA, track each ant to choose nesting place. Accordingly, they are forced to choose two places - one with 2 teams and one with 8 groups. The results showed that 50% of the nest is not suitable for them. This is a study published in Current Biology.

Professor Stephen Pratt discovered that each ant is difficult to make decisions in the face of many choices, because they receive large amounts of information. The team said that working together is easier to make decisions because each member will be partly responsible.

"Living in a group is very expensive, so ants must have some benefit when living together," Stephen Pratt said. "By sharing the burden in the decision-making process, it makes the ant populations not make mistakes, but each individual is caught."

According to Stephen and his colleagues, people need to take care of this because we receive too much information every day. Therefore, workers need to work together and assign work appropriately to make informed decisions.
