      Okay yeah, that’s about what I remembered. The parents leading and the children leaving when they become adults, thus not endangering the position of the parents.

      I guess I just somehow mandela-effected the term “alpha” into there

      But funny that wolves have social systems closer to humans than some ape species with their silverbacks.

        Oh yeah, we definitely form close knit family and community units with dispersed hierarchy instead of giving all the bananas and power to a small handful of apes who can then impose their will on everyone else…
