Swarm Intelligence
Brains are an integral part of the decision-making process for all living organisms. However, social insects like ants, bees, wasps, and termites are capable of solving complex problems as a unit. These insects do not work individually, but as a collective in order to create a kind of “super-brain,” which is usually referred to as swarm intelligence. Swarm Intelligence is a phenomenon where hundreds or even thousands of organisms work together for the benefit of the group. Combining their efforts, many minds work together as one, making collective decisions as a whole. Like the neurons connected and working together in a single brain, hundreds of individual brains are connected into one organized system of thought.
