متن کاملLabour on the Family Farm: a Theory under Uncertainty

متن کاملThe evolutionary history of division of labour.
Functional specialization, or division of labour (DOL), of parts within organisms and colonies is common in most multi-cellular, colonial and social organisms, but it is far from ubiquitous. Several mechanisms have been proposed to explain the evolutionary origins of DOL; the basic feature common to all of them is that functional differences can arise easily. These mechanisms cannot explain the...
متن کاملDivision of Labour in the Cell.
Unicellular organisms require more energy and materials for their survival than multicellular organisms. A unicellular organism is exposed to environments all around and thus has to protect itself against the effects of the environment on all sides. However, in multicellular organisms all the cells are not in direct contact with the environment and specific cells take up the protective function...
متن کاملCooperation and the Division of Labour
Cooperation is vital for maintaining the integrity of complex life forms. In many cases in nature cooperation manifests itself through constituent parts performing different, but complementary, functions. The vast majority of studies on the evolution of cooperation, however, look only at the special case in which cooperation manifests itself via the constituent parts performing identical tasks....
