Termite
Period: Cretaceous
Age: 100 million years
Region: Burma
Termites inhabit tropical regions in particular and establish magnificent colonies in towers
made from mud that can reach up to four to five meters (13 to 16 feet) in height. The archi-
tecture within these miniature cities is constructed so as to ensure constant adaptation to
changing climatic conditions. The cities built by termites, which belong to the order Isoptera,
are flawless, not just in social terms, but in respect of the arrangement in them. The 100-mil-
lion-year-old fossil termite in the picture is proof that these living things never evolved.
