I agree that humans aren&#x27;t simple unitary individuals, but calling us &quot;superorganisms&quot; kinda devalues the word. If we&#x27;re superorgansisms then so are cats, dogs, mice, birds, and anything else that relies on bacteria for digestion or has reproductive complexities like chimerism. This would probably include ants... making an ant colony a superorganism of superorganisms, so we&#x27;d need a new word for that.<p>How about we figure out which species <i>are</i> unitary individuals and give them a word? Mono-organisms or something.
