I was with you until bees and such. In what way do you feel bees are more of a "civilization" than say a pod of whales or dolphins? Is it a "has a structure"

- oscarduignan 12y agoThere are a lot more bees in a hive than in a pod of whales or dolphins, we're talking potentially many tens of thousands of bees per hive. I think that's the qualifier here, scale of numbers
- robotresearcher 12y agoCetaceans don't have technology - they don't build things, adapting the environment to themselves. Their niche doesn't afford placing and combining materials like others do. So as Douglas Adams observed, all the dolphins seem to do is muck about and have a good time.
