Description: Cooperation leads to greater adaptability and survival in nature

"The potential benefits of adaptations which establish cooperative arrangements amongst living entities are well known, whether the entities are molecular processes, cells, multicellular organisms, or human nation states. In particular, cooperation between entities can avoid the costly consequences of the pursuit by individuals of their individual interests at the expense of others, and can provide the advantages of cooperative differentiation, specialisation, and division of labour (e.g. as exemplified by molecular processes within cells, cells within metazoans, and human activities within modern economies). Cooperative organisation can also establish coordinated action across greater scales of space and time, enabling adaptation to external events of greater scale (e.g. metazoans can generally adapt successfully to larger scale threats than can single celled organisms)."
