The irony is that the whole alpha thing in wolves is itself a myth.

It's not a myth, it's just that wolves live in families The "alpha male" is what we people call "father", and has some authority over other wolves by the virtue of being older and more experienced, and their ancestor.

I read a great takedown of the whole "alpha" thing a while back, but can't remember where. Its message was that "alphas" are kind of losers, when all is said and done.
