Considering the biologist in this thread disagrees with you, you may want to tone down your arrogance.

Also, I do not think you could kill me with a rock, unless I were sleeping and you were dropping it from excessive height.

I see no disagreement.

I could kill you with a coffee mug or a bic pen if you were unarmed. In the unlikely event you're unusually strong and alert I'd get my brother to help. Power in a band of humans has way more to do with how many relatives you happen to have than any silly conception of "alpha".

So, maybe the 'alpha' is automatically the person with the most allies in a time of conflict.
