A single ant is not that clever, a colony of ants though is! 
How can a single unintelligent part become an intelligent whole?

Collective Minds attempts to answer to this fundamental question of science that has remained unsolved for so long. 

You will be taken on a 52’ journey into the mysterious and complex world of swarms and at the same time into the origins of our own intelligence. By the end, the answer will be revealed and make us see human intelligence in a new light!

Swarms are fascinating and formidable. They possess a form of intelligence radically different from those of humans.
