Superswarms. Possible answer to the impending zombie invasion?

So, whilst watching the Discovery Channel last night, a show about superswarms came on.  Essentially, the group experiences the ultimate groupthink and act as one unit.  Fire ants, fish, bees, and starlings all have the ability to acutely sense their neighbors and can react fast enough to move as a team. This helps against predators, and this got me thinking.  Humans are the top of the food chain when not in the wilderness or a shark tank or something...or a zombie invasion. Just like how ants can experience groupthink and individual thought at the same time, if humans could do this we would stand a much better chance at surviving long-term against the zombie race.  Ants do really sweet shit like form a giant ant raft during a flood, and float to safety; or let off pheremones so when moving a twig, they can coordinate their pushing and pulling.  Now, the sweet raft idea would not work because the little ants on the bottom layer can still breathe, but if we were able to work as a team there would be no trouble building barricades and walling off the roving bands of brain-eaters.

Now, I brought up this theory with my friend in class and he disagrees with my theory because he says that a humans ability to think as an individual and forage and plan are the only reasons that we can survive against attacking zombies.  He believes individualism is the key to survival.


But, I suppose at the end of the day we should really just be glad that zombies can't superswarm, because that would be totally fucking scary.


Peace and machetes,
