Produced by Sankar Viswanathan, Greg Weeks, and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net "The Kenzie Report" by Mark Clifton is a science fiction story written in the early to mid-20th century. The narrative revolves around the eccentric character Kenzie MacKenzie, a scientist deeply fascinated by ants, as he attempts to communicate with these small creatures. The story explores themes of intelligence and the relative nature of human supremacy in the grand scheme of life on Earth. The plot unfolds in a laboratory setting where Kenzie, along with a colleague named Pringle, dedicates their efforts to creating a device meant to relay communication with ants. As they delve deeper into their research, they begin to uncover unsettling truths about the nature of intelligence and human perception. The climax reveals that, contrary to human belief, ants may possess a higher level of intellect, suggesting they are the true dominant species on the planet. The story ultimately questions the assumptions humans hold about their place in the universe and the intelligence of other life forms. Through humor and thought-provoking dialogue, Clifton invites readers to reconsider the limits of human understanding and the extraordinary capabilities of nature.
