Sourcing has its roots in our collective past in commerce and trade. As individuals formed family clans, tribes, communities, and complex societies, individual members began to specialize. That led to a division of labor, improved skill and knowledge, and better workmanship. People with specialized skills traded with each other for goods and services they needed to survive. They did not try to be totally self-sufficient; they relied on each other’s talents and productivity and, as a result, lived better.
