A common example of analogical reasoning involves comparing the inner workings of brains, including their neurons and action potentials, with the inner workings of ant hills, including their tunnels and ants.
Research this analogy a bit: Googling “human brains and ant hills” will get you enough results to go on.
Then, develop a simple model of each of these systems.
Then, discuss what analogically may transfer from one model to the other: at what level of abstraction can we draw an analogy between ant hills and human brains?
Finally, briefly comment philosophically on how far that analogy can be taken: is an anthill conscious? Why or why not?
