Something I hear a lot is that the division of labor came after

>>2733241
Division of labor didn't happen in earnest until the late 18th century.

Please don't post bait in my thread.

>>2733260
Your thread is shit though. Why not b8?

People specialized since fucking cavemen times, starting with tanners and shoemakers, Marxists are dumb idiots

>>2733270
>be shoemaker
>also farm, make furniture, fix your own house

>>2733241
Division of labour has existing since before humans were even fully evolved.

Don't let commies tell you otherwise.

is this really an idea specific to marxism? it's been taught in my history classes/anthropology classes as just a generally accepted thing

"Division of labor" means a full-fledged society of specialists which simply cannot function without a decent system of currency and credit. Please stop posting, kill yourself if you can, but at least get out of /his/ and don't come back.

>Division of labor is older than homo sapiens sapiens if I use a special snowflake definition that I can change to fit my argument

>>2733241

This is certainly bullshit, all known human societies differentiate between "men's work" and "women's work", as indeed do many non-human species of ape and monkey.

Labor is divided on literally a genetic level.

The current theory is that the 12k year old structures at Göbekli Tepe where built before humans became sedentary and developed agriculture. This would indicate that hunter/gatherers built large temple structures, for which division of labor is a condition.

>>2733241
there's always been division of labour, agriculture just enhanced it and sped up the process

more people, more demand, more possibilities to specialize in a particular trade and becoming more efficient

>>2733241
Humans were making mud sculptures since the mesolithic showing that division of labor was a thing. The most competent dudes would be the hunters for meat. some other dudes would look for plants, the women would prepare the food or be raped for pleasure, while other dudes would spend their time making all the weapons for the hunters, and some pretty artwork in the past time.

because your teachers are marxists

Informal debt and credit arrangements worked pretty well.

family life lays the basis for division of labor, someone prepares food, someone cleans the place, someone gets the food, someone makes sure kids dont walk of a cliff, someone gets other shit done
