The Earth is only 4.6 billion years old. Plus, scientists estimate that ants are only about 92 million years-old.

You'd have to know how long they have been as dominant as they are today. How widespread were they? Did ice ages severely reduce their numbers multiple times?

Dinosours were alive 200 million plus years ago. I would think ants have been around a he'll of a lot longer than dinos. You are correct about the age of earth though.
