Abstract If the “Division of Labour” is just a process of selecting work point in social system and network by a man not only for retaining self existence but to realize the living of his dream, it is too superficial analysis of a vital term of economics. Human society could evolve with the help and application of discoveries and inventions (in short – DIs) successfully applied on natural resources. It also required for material support and application of labor to secure targeted results. This process warranted a systematic coordination among application of DIs, exploration, control and regulation of natural resources, labor support for the application. Simultaneous and synchronized functioning of above three constituted a process to which we address as the classical coordination. However, the evolution of human society under the classical coordination realized with various preconditions to be complied by men.
Here it is tried to reveal the facts of social development/evolution under the process of classical coordination. The process of division of labor is an inseparable part of the classical coordination. The classical coordination is basic to evolution of human society. The original constitution of evolved division of labor with the evolution of human society under classical coordination is perfect and without any contamination of human unethical values. Unfortunately the spoiled social environment due to frequent and innumerable breaches of preconditions encouraged application of abilities of men (members of the society) in unethical ways/means. It contaminated the naturally evolved process of division of labor. The spoiled process of division of labor introduced disappointment and agony in the minds of the people that were victimized by the unethical application of abilities to favor incompetent people or to secure self interests and ultimately it resulted into a class struggle. The consequential results of contaminated process of division of labor are also discussed in short.

******************
DIVISION OF LABOR goes beyond segmentation of task within a production line, i.e. assembly line production where different components are assembled at different work station; thus, called stages of production. Division of labor permeates in every aspect of economic activity which may entails works or function, i.e. the existence of different profession, such as doctor, lawyer, etc. is a form of division of labor. By dividing work or task or an entire field of similar work (profession) into category or group of similar, we are able to increase skill level through specialization.
SPECIALIZATION allows the skill level to intensify and reduce cost. As the result society benefits. In the past (at least in Europe), dentists and surgeons are almost synonymous because pulling teeth performing surgery were done at the same place by the same person. As medical science developed, these two tasks are developed into two specialties: dentistry and surgery. This is division of labor that goes beyond a microcosm of line assembly to a macro-level of professional development.
EFFICIENCY is at the heart of division of labor. Whether dividing multiple tasks into stages in different work station within one assembly line or developing groups of skills and body of knowledge into various professions, division of labor allows us to use limited resources at its highest efficiency. The weakness is that with efficiency as the goal, specialization makes people knowing so much of one thing and knows nothing of everything else. Although production cost for a particular "work" goes down at a macro-level, at an individual level, we now have to pay for what we do not know- - - expenses go up. At the end, we look at the whole picture and say as long as the cost savings to society is greater than the net increases in expenses to the individual then it is worth it.
