Termites developed eusociality in the Jurassic period, over 145 million years ago.
Since eusociality is basically civilization, can it be said that termites invented civilization 145 million years ago?
Insects are more civilized than us.

When will us humans make the change to eusociality?
Giant queen mommy births little drones to do whatever in a giant perfectly organized civilization. All other countries will not be able to compete.

It's probably easier to have a civilization when the members have no desires of their own beyond the needs of the brood as a whole.

Not a civilization I would want to live in, but there's something to it I'm sure.

Yet they never advanced technologically, and never created a technological singularity.

I don't know how they stayed in that form of civilization for so long. Why don't insects develop technology?
They already have societies
