Ants
Famed for its industriousness and its urge to conquer, this race practises farming and uses chemical weapons. Humans? No, ants! Joachim Offenberg, a myrmecophile researcher at Aarhus University, shares fascinating facts about these tiny creatures - so stealthy and stalwart they even endured a ruthless onslaught from his Uncle Preben, who thinks these cannibals, slave drivers and invaders of our homes and gardens deserve no better. But why not domesticate ants and join forces with one fourth of the planet's animal biomass? Prepare to befriend a formidable foe.
