Ants are truly fascinating creatures. The industrious insects can lift up to 50 times their own body weight, morph into rafts to protect themselves from floods, predict earthquakes, and even repair their damaged homes. Now, researchers have found that the amazing insects may even be able to help detect cancer in humans.

cheesecrows약 3년Yeah, but the point is that ants take much less time to train than dogs- grim1약 3년Yeah but it takes up to a year to train a dog to find cancer but it can take an ant only like 30 minutes as the last paragraph said.

creampuffcookie약 3년Ant fun fact!- ants are not affected by old age like humans are! In elderly humans, the levels of two brain chemicals, serotonin and dopamine, plummet. Low levels of serotonin causes memory loss and inability to learn, while dopamine affects physical movement as well as learning. However, old ant workers showed no dip in these chemicals. What do all these results mean? Age has no effect on ant behavior. Old workers had just an acute sense of smell as younger ones. They were strong enough to walk great distances looking for food. Back in the nest, they are better nurturers of larvae, nimbly cleaning eggs and feeding larvae. These workers work till the last weeks of their life.
