Are humans the intelligent form of ants and bees in terms of how we function?

Like ants and bees, we are a highly social species that enables us to function as an entire organism when grouped together. With ants and bees, this enables them to have a functioning and thriving colony that enables genetic diversity. With humans, we have a functioning colony that is constantly progressing via cultural and technological changes.Are humans the intelligent form of ants and bees in terms of how we function?
It really depends on how you look it, and what the species is trying to acheive.





Ants, bees, and wasps developed a system that makes every unit equally important to the whole while at the same time equally expendable.


Save the queen. But every individual works for the greater good.





Other species, say herding animals, like antelope or buffalo, are more individual in their lifestyles. They chose mates, wander around, and don't have to do anything ';for'; the heard necessarily. And if there's trouble, its the weakest of the group that gets weeded out.





Or take pack animals. Wolves for instance. Or lion prides. They hunt together, they eat together. They also choose mates, but based on an alpha male. You can't just hook up with anyone in those social structures.





So to ask if humans are more evolved socially makes for a complicated question. If we had a government where one alpha male ruled, and took all the wives, but all the other folk where taken care of, and fed, and living, as pack animals do...is that a good life and evolved social structure?





Or if every person was an equal unit- everyone did their job, everyone had equal pay, and no one was more special than the other save the leader of the people, as ants do...is that a good life and evolved social structure?





Well, you can see how this could go on and on. Its almost like describing sci-fi utopias or dystopias. Anyway, it depends on what you consider a fair quality of life for people and how important is survival of society. Enough to compromise those things?





As for religion: I agree its out dated in many regards...but morality will never get passe. If only their was a way to instill morality and values without the primitive mythos of long long out dated religions.Are humans the intelligent form of ants and bees in terms of how we function?
Actually your argument could be applied to almost all other animal species when related to human beings. Don't we nurture and take care of our babies like other mammals and even reptiles take care of their eggs? We work together collectively? Yeah but we also have wars which contradicts that points. I do, however, agree that in case of some extra terrestrial invasion (however unlikely that may seem) that all the nations will probably work collectively as one unit to combat it. We are working together to survive but unlike ants we do not have predators. We are the predators and everything else our prey.
