Ants can be farmers. 🚜
Fungus-farming ants began their agricultural ventures about 50 million years before humans thought to raise their own crops.
The earliest evidence suggests ants began farming as early as 70 million years ago, in the early Tertiary period.
Even more amazing, these ants used sophisticated horticultural techniques to enhance their crop yields, including secreting chemicals with antibiotic properties to inhibit mold growth and devising fertilization protocols using manure.
