In this case, the introduction of a system of accounting, writing, and civilization are all considered aftermaths of division of labor. These developments are closely linked to the organization and coordination required in a society with specialized roles. However, animal husbandry is not directly related to the division of labor as it involves the rearing and breeding of animals for agricultural purposes, which can exist independently of the division of labor.
