It appears that this lesson was eventually learnt by humans, who shifted from hunting and gathering to agriculture. The wisdom of ants that they borrowed did not end here but helped to lay the foundation of economics as a distinct discipline.

In the process, Shankar Jaganathan asks us to question our ideas of the importance of these ideas and their ability to drive the world.
