Living organisms life, machinery

To this day, copying and spreading genetic information is what life is all about. All the visible parts of living organisms (phenotype) have evolved because they were able to assist this purpose in one way or the other. Considering that life essentially is a molecular data copying machinery, we will be less surprised to learn that evolution has produced some clever computational devices on the way. 

The Protos warfare on their Lept neighbors depended heavily on chemicals, but ants are by no means unique in making extensive use of chemicals for communication and warfare. From one-celled organisms to complex plants and animals, many living creatures do the same. As species develop over evolutionary time, it is relatively easy for them to adapt their cellular machinery to producing chemicals for communication, warfare, and other purposes. These chemicals facilitate the way of life of organisms spread all across the biological spectrum.
