Any simulation is heavily studied by academics in computer science. They have found that simple rules can allow them to solve difficult problems. While I wouldn't go as far as you have, I would say that ants illustrate that higher intelligence is not always needed to adapt to complicated environments.

I can agree they aren't exactly smart. They follow certain instincts and rules for the rest of their life to cater to their colony.

They don't really think. Individually, they're mindless and kind of useless. The magic happens when they are in a group and they become a superorganism. Their "job" isn't something they do after thinking about it, it's like an automatic response controlled by chemicals and their genes.
