Interpretations
Dominance hierarchies are at least 350 million years old; they exist in lobsters, crayfish (c. 511m years), and bees. You can watch it in children’s play. They create rules, multiple rules, which eventually to a structure, a pyramid of value, a dominance hierarchy.
Dominance hierarchies are created by election, not power. Because if you’re the tyrant, the two next people in the hierarchy will gang up and depose you.
