The concept of the "alpha" is cringe

[Kasa]

It exists in chickens (It's were the phrase pecking order came from) naturally but for most animals, it does not exist.

Dave Mech who first wrote about an "alpha" only witnessed it in captivity in unnatural conditions and would spend the rest of his life trying to undo the mistake he made.

Aaaah yes, look at what we have here, a lvl 12 Twink nerd with a feeble constitution, 5" 5 that thinks thick boned muscular males around 6 + tall are not the alpha and getting all the womens.

This applies to so many species you would rethink your whole entire life, you know that even about 85 % to 90% of human males don't get to pass their genes right ? Schocking ? not.

That's a fair point!

Though I actually said it doesn't exist for MOST animals.

I mean no offence but by that statement you've lost the point of the argument then. I agree the concept is cringe when humans call themselves "alpha males" as we do not have that kind of social dynamic, and these guys are usually idiots. But a video game that portrays large animals doesn't really fall under that same category if you are trying to base it off of real animal social circles. Simply because it does exist.

This is for wolves, but there are other animals where dominance hierarchies exist - humans is one such species, where dominance hierarchies predate society. They're also common in large and small apes. While Mech rescinded his study on wolves, he did not rescind the idea of a hierarchy in wolves - because he also observed it in the wild. He just found there it's based more on seniority, most commonly parents leading the pack.

And keep in mind - his and ideas only involve wolves. It doesn't involve lions or elk, and many other animals that are known to have dominance fights.

Remember kids to stay informed and to read information precisely. Alpha wolves do not exist. But pack-leading wolves do.

None taken, I agree with your statement as well.

"Alpha" is a thing in nature, but not the way a lot of people think it is.

But it is not a thing anymore in the human species for long years ago, because its society changed wits, intelligence, and physical strength to money.

On top of that, genes is not the only important thing to humans, because we are very different, education is the most powerful primal act of a human to transcend its legacy.

You can be all big, hot, or whatever you want but it wont secure you a place as "alpha", male or female, this ♥♥♥♥ does not matter anymore in the end of the day, to our current society.

Money is not and will never be a sign of strength in the natural world, yet here we are.

Strength and wits are things that our current society abuse instead of following. That would make human society more like, parasytes.
