This is a fascinating subject to me, as “dominance hierarchy” has been overly plain to me since the evidence we have of early civilisation models, but also much more recently, in terms of dear Jane’s observations of Gombe chimps, plus dear Robert’s (Sapolski) observations upon baboons.
Now whether that same type of hierarchy structure is the same when it comes to other tribal / social animals such as Grey Wolves and doggos seems a fascinating thing to observe, whether or not the whole ‘Alpha-Male’ thing is complete nonsense, or not. (with no apologies whatsoever to utter wankers, such as Andrew Tate)
Conclusion? Please, let’s never forget that we humans are also monkeys by definition. (Great Apes < Apes < Monkeys < Primates)
And we’re the most truly dangerous of all monkeys, n’est pas? :S

We may be great apes but we are not pongo, gorilla or pan, we are homo.
Yes… the most self-destructive and globally-destructive of apes by a humongous margin.
…we have followed our own evolutionary path.
The exact same can be said of every single species on the planet, mate, including that every single one is a transitory form of life, always evolving (via genetic mutation and natural selection) towards whatever comes next.
Our social structures are incredibly diverse and complex, influenced by our intelligence more so than our environment or biology.
Hahahahaha. And yet here we are, with our high-minded ideals and stale bag of crisps clutched in one hand, whilst so many of our leaders’ hands are incessantly open for whatever kickback is available. XD
Come on now, Deceptichum, mate.
‘Early civilization models’ aka ‘some shit i just made up to justify what i already think and real archaeologists/anthropologists do not conclusively support. Not that id care if they did.’
Whoah! That seems weirdly hostile, for no particular reason.
My fellow monkey-man, may I ask you to explain…?
