  • Abstract
    Specialization and exchange are two important specifically human adaptations that are at the origin of much of the complexity of human social life and of human societies. The paper describes simple simulated robots that evolve in environments containing either two types of food or both food and tools and tries to establish in which environments specialization emerges, what is the relation between exchange and specialization and what their advantages are.
