Q&A

Ant people polymorphism ( Queen )

+0
−0

(Perhaps termite people would be more appropriate)

In my world, the Gbajumo (think race of semi-gods) decide that the humanoid beings of the world have become too cocky and comfortable in their supremacy, and since the current world order of peace and prosperity has gone on for 200 years, it's about time to shake things up. Ideas are pitched, events conspire, and it is decided that ant people need to be created. They work on the reproductive caste first. However, since they are only semi-gods, there are limits to what they can do as far as creating ant people

Limitations

  • all genetic material must come from Homo sapiens
  • the ant people must be achievable by breeding
  • all attributes must be possible within 300 millennia of selection

Prerequisite for "queens"

  • must be able to produce 50 times the maximum amount of children a human female can produce in her lifespan
  • must be able to live for at least twice the average humans lifespan (70 years for a human, making 140 for a queen)
  • must be able to reproduce throughout her life

Given this information -

What adaptations ofto the human body would be needed to fulfill the requirements for the reproductive caste?
