Because with humans "intelligence" tends to deteriorate quite rapidly in cooperativity.

"This led to the insight that there's this sort of cooperativity with the other hemisphere that is needed," said Dr. Behrmann.

The R193H cTnI mutant alone encroaches on this limit as it has a dominant effect in all combinations to cause a Ca An equally important factor that likely impacts the additive effects of two activating mutant alleles is the combined incorporation of each mutant into the sarcomere given the central role thin filament stoichiometry and cooperativity plays in the regulation of contraction

A self-organization process may be considered to involve three main stages: (i) molecular recognition for the selective binding of the basic components; (ii) growth through sequential and eventually hierarchical binding of multiple components in the correct relative disposition; it may present cooperativity and nonlinear behavior; and (iii) termination of the process, requiring a built-in feature, a stop signal, that specifies the end point and signifies that the process has reached completion.

We have precursors: modern choanoflagellates show that protists can find selective advantage in transient assemblies, colonial organisms show the virtues of more permanent arrangements, and creatures like sponges exhibit cooperativity and specialization in internal function.

Exactly how receptor auto-phosphorylation alters receptor affinity is not yet known, although both linkage and cooperativity require the presence of the intracellular juxtamembrane domain as deletion of this region eliminates both binding phenomena.

However for animals that generate offspring via sexual reproduction, a cooperativity of activity and response to environmental food availability would be critical.
