It's great to learn this; I hear so many "alpha male" references (or a gender-neutral "alpha") when talking about human behavior, and it's always rubbed me the wrong way. Even if wolves did have this sort of social structure, it's absurd to immediately assume that humans work the same way. Good to know it's rubbish even when talking about wolves.
