Ants do communicate, a lot in fact (chemically). How else would they coordinate the colony?
Yet I don't remember hearing about scientists trying to communicate with them, announce our presence, or exchange ideas.
- throwaway11460 3y agoThat's more of instinct than intelligent communication, though. Hard to exchange ideas when the vocabulary is a pheromone that makes a drone want to work or fuck. I'd be the first person trying to exchange ideas if it was in any way possible - seriously, in a scientific capacity. Ants fascinate me. But there really is no way to communicate.
