If so, what did you think of it? How did it affect your views on the theory of evolution?

I've read some online:
http://www.evolutionhoax.com/book_chapter1.pdf
So it says (about the ability of an ant colony to self-organise using pheromones):
"According to the“Theory of Evolution”, at some point in time long ago there must have been a colony of ants that did not have pheromones at all. The proteins and enzymes required to make them had just not yet evolved."
This is, as you might suppose, nonsense of the highest order.
*Many* non-social insects use pheromones: moths, for example, use it to attract mates. So, the "proto-ant colony" could easily have communicated with pheromones: it would just have been less sophisticated than the highly-evolved system used now.

No, but, evolution, the change in allele frequency over time in a population is a fact. How can this fact be a Hoax? Except in some delusional ideologues mind.

Nope. My fiction list is already full, and I'd rather read fact-based books on science.
