Termites are better than us

A new study of termite mounds near the Buffels River in Namaqualand, South Africa, has dated the mounds to be 34,000 years old and shows that they are still inhabited by termites today.

That means that bugs have built and maintained a civilization that has lasted exponentially longer than any human civilization.

Granted, they have yet to invent minor-league baseball, poker, or ice cream cake, but 340 centuries is still pretty impressive.
