#### Ants are so much like human beings as to be an embarrassment

Ants are simple, even stupid individuals. But an ant colony, through the interaction of a great number of ants, displays an amazing skill at survival, and a noticeable level of intelligence.In SimAnt, you are the intelligence of an ant colony. The individual ants are like the individual brain cells of your being. You will hop into and out of individual ants, using them as tools. many of your ants will dies, including at times the one you are inhabiting. but death of individual ants will not greatly affect you as a colony. in fact, one of your ants dying will hurt you about as much as a human trimming a fingernail.
