“Finding such an anatomically specialized ant from 113 million years ago challenges our assumptions about how quickly these insects developed complex adaptations.” Gosh. Maybe random genetic drift isn't the magic solution. Maybe Intelligent Design is actually a more sensible concept.

113 million years old, not 112 million, not a 114 million, but exactly 113 million. Just curious how they arrived at that age. You know, experts. Look how they’ve got us out of so many jams over the last six years or so.

>>>and have them resurrect it
Why?
None of the pics show any measure of scale. No where in the text gave the length of the ant.
This means it was just a puny ant with deformed mandibles that someone got excited over and named it.

They’ll be bringing it back anytime now. Like the fire ants aren’t bad enough.

Did I really need a sarcasm tag?
Really?
It wasn’t obvious?
Jeeze Louise. Everybody needs a damned laugh track to know what to think these days, meaning they don’t know how to think.
