This is a Theory that will one day be famous and people will believe it because i have evidence of it. though most of it is on mars being that . that the Great Ants there never shrunk themselves but died off from nuclear war.

Ants a long time ago were just like humans and just as big as us
they kept other insects as pets and were very smart. one day they knew that the earth wouldnt support their rapidly growing population. now these ants being a race of smart and strong creatures decided lets shrink our selves.

One of the arseholes in charge of shrinking them all , focked up because he was having a sexy party all night and got really wasted. he forgot to shrink the equipment and tools and such first and so then all the ants were tiny.

A few ants tried to get those tools back and save the antkind. but then an animal which they had long been eating like we eat cattle ( when they were big ) had come back for revenge . The bravest of the ants says to his fellow ants " lets kill this sob , we used to eat these things and so what if hes big we are smart " so the brave ant say while turning back to his comrades " what do you say? " he sees his Ant buddies running away from a distance while one shouts " **** you jonathan " then jonathan turns back around and sees the beast right in front of him and it eats him and all other brave little Ants that dare come near it ( this creature is now called the ant eater ) now the ants have lived so long without their advanced tools and tech. that they forgot it all.

now ants are what we think of them today. but you can still see their old nature even now. they make great colonies , they go to war , ect.

That has got to be the most ridiculously asinine thing I have ever seen. And you have inspired my secretary to write a children's book, "The Great Ant Empire". I'll see that it gets some media attention and I'm sure our Estal children will be very fond of it. Of course, the DCI; if I may hereafter refer to your nation as such; will recieve a percentage of the royalties (my secretary enjoys the more abstract things in life). Always happy to do business.

this is a real theory with some hard evidence

Why, of course, dear fellow! Let's see it then.

Ants, like all insects, breathe through a system of pores on their skin and have no lungs. While this works excellently for creatures of their small stature, a large ant would have problems getting the air throughout their system without a powerful set of lungs to accompany it. This means that, in addition to being shrunk, the ants must've had their lungs removed surgically. Which makes sense, when you consider how much space lungs take up.

But other than the obvious logic, this is a sound theory. :p

yes they have evolved a bit from their vast state as dominant creatures. during the time they were " great ants " they didnt have large jaws you see today. they had mouths somewhat like we do , except their teeth were flat, they had machines do most of their work ( most of them ate smoothes and such ) the hardest food they ate was bahchim crunches they went crazy for that stuff ( bahchim is what they called the modern day ant eater which they harvested like cows ) they made some type of crunch rice or something that went into the meat. but anways with their economy and other things done by machines they had alot of free time, their were many inventors and soldiers. they were both intelligent and strong

whether they removed their lungs or not. or how. we do not know at this time

we and the many scientists working on this dont have a website at the moment so i cant show you anything , but i hope in a year or 2 you will see us talking about this on the news
