I'm sorry but redundancy of queens says nothing about greater individuality. How does that redundancy affect the worker ants of the supercolony? Oh, that's right: it doesn't.
Well, I think you're wrong. But let's concede the point for the sake of argument.
How does the success of this type of ant colony over other types of ant colony (noting it's other ants they supplant, not humans, who are also doing just fine at inhabiting every corner of the globe) show that greater collectivism works better.
