I wanted to show Eric Freeman this article about a newly discovered 120-million year old species of ant, but don't know his contact info. So here it is for anyone else interested in ants.

Cool.  Imagine what humans will evolve into after 120,000,000 years considering we haven't even been at it a half a million years.

And if you like ants; check out the 6,000 kilometers long colony in western Europe.  Them are better organized them you think.

Our evolution is about to accelerate exponentially, but the natural selection or biological phase of our evolution is nearly over. We're about to kick natural selection out of the driver's seat and take over the wheel.
