Besides simple rules the other requirement is Altruism. Everyone in the colony takes care of the children of one queen.

Can you imagine the chimp troupe doing any such thing? Siblings will kill each other and their kids rather than do that.

People think its related to Ants being haplodiploid.

Altruism in large social groups is something chimps haven't worked out yet. Which is why we have the MIL complex and war.

So if you are an algo engineer check out Haplodiploidy.
