Instinct vs Intelligence

 Ants are much more than reflex machines

They are self-acting creatures guided by memories of the past individual (ontogenic) experience 

Charles Henry Turner 

Ants, Bees, and Wasps learn,  remember, and recognize landmarks to get home

Rather than move by mindless 'instinct' as previously thought 

Galley spiders: an instinctive impulse prompts them to weave galley webs 

But the details of the construction are products of intelligent action.


Instinct can induce an idea

but Intelligent action is needed to create and produce outcomes!

Outcome = Idea * Execution = Instinct * Intelligence
