Does the ant reproduction system make them less evolved?

The type of reproduction thats ants have comes from only one individual. This spread dna much less quickly. So do ants have less DNA then other insects that reproduce with more then one individual, which spreads dna more quickly? Or is new DNA diversity spread just as quickly using only one individual and I'm just imagining things? Is this one of the reasons for ants small size? I'm not really so much as starting a discussion as much as I am just wondering if anyone here would know the answer.
