Swarms of bees make decisions as a \u2018democratic\u2019 collective, voting on various possible nest sites through waggle dances. Does this\u00a0phenomenon amount to a form of \u2018collective intelligence\u2019? Do we also find collective intelligence in humans? And what might\u00a0humans be able to learn from bees about the best ways to act together and to make collective decisions? Philosopher\u00a0Christian\u00a0List, social insect biologist\u00a0Elli Leadbeater,\u00a0and evolutionary theorist\u00a0Larissa Conradt\u00a0consider the nature of collective intelligence\u00a0in bees, humans, and other animals.<\/span><\/p>\n
