    we conservatively estimate 20 × 10^15 (20 quadrillion) ants on Earth, with a total biomass of 12 megatons of dry carbon. This exceeds the combined biomass of wild birds and mammals and equals 20% of human biomass. – source

    If there’s a lot of something, we mammals are going to learn how to eat it.

      Exactly. The ants were doing a lot more than existing

        12 megatons of dry carbon

        https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Composition_of_the_human_body

        Carbon is supposed to make up about 18.5% of the mass of a human body. So 60 megatons divided by 18.5% is 324 megatons.
