Complex computational elements of the CNS are organized according to a "nested" hierarchic criterion; the organization is not permanent and can change dynamically from moment to moment as they carry out a computational task.
Echolocation in bats exemplifies adaptation produced by natural selection; a function not produced by natural selection for its current use is exaptation -- feathers might have originally arisen in the context of selection for insulation.
From a structural standpoint, consistent with exaptation, the living organism is organized as a complex of "Russian Matryoshka Dolls" -- smaller structures are contained within larger ones in multiple layers.
The exaptation concept, and the Russian-doll organization concept of living beings deduced from studies on evolution of the various apparatuses in mammals, can be applied for the most complex human organ: the central nervous system (CNS).

Businesses find automation, such as robotic employees, a big asset in terms of productivity and efficiency.

But in recent years, robotics has had increasing impacts on unemployment, not just of manual labour, as computers are rapidly handling some white-collar and service-sector work.

For years politicians have promised workers that they would bring back their jobs by clamping down on trade, off shoring and immigration.

Economists, based on their research, say that the bigger threat to jobs now is not globalisation but automation.

Like the ants that make up a colony, no single neuron holds complex information like self-awareness, hope or pride.
Although the human brain is not yet understood enough to identify the mechanism by which emergence functions, most neurobiologists agree that complex interconnections among the parts give rise to qualities that belong only to the whole.
Nonetheless, the sum of all neurons in the nervous system generate complex human emotions like fear and joy, none of which can be attributed to a single neuron.
Human consciousness is often called an emergent property of the human brain.
