…we compared how ants or people tackle an identical geometrical puzzle. We find that when ants work in groups, their performances rise significantly. Groups of people do not show such improvement and, when their communication is restricted, even display deteriorated performances.

A figure from a scientific journal article that shows and overhead view of four similar T-shaped objects being manoeuvred through two narrow gaps. The top two figures show individual and groups of ants completing the task. The bottom two figures show individual and groups of humans.  The scales range from approx 3 centimetres for the individual ant puzzle to approx 18 metres for the puzzle for groups of humans.
