As It Stands: Amazons, Ants, and the Battle of the Sexes

By Dave Stancliff

Once, a long time ago, there was a nation of women who were mighty warriors and didn’t need men.

They were reputed to have fought the men of Atlantis. These warriors were called Amazons and they disappeared many generations before the Trojan War. Still, their legend lives on into the 21st Century. 

  They worshiped the goddess Artemis, who was said to assume many forms. Today the image of the Amazons has morphed into a symbol for strong women bravely fighting breast cancer.

 Talk about change. I recently read an article titled “Rare All-Female Ant Society That Reproduces by Cloning Discovered” at the Impact Lab website. Now get this, there is (and I’m not making this up) a colony of Amazon ants, all female, who reproduce via cloning!
