kacperc317 Posted August 7, 2021 Posted August 7, 2021 I wonder when the organisms that began to live in the dominant hierarchy arose. Anyone know any sources or books about hierarchical origins? structures in which, for example, people live, and what organisms, which ancestor started to show such a system
TheVat Posted August 7, 2021 Posted August 7, 2021 In English, a slang term for this is "pecking order"(which comes from avian species). These develop when there is competition for resources and mating opportunities. Based on my own learning in animal behavior, I would suggest doing a search on a particular species -- baboons are good -- and dominance hierarchy. Wolves are another species where a lot of study has been done. Mammalian dominance hierarchies share many general features in common.
