“Ed Wilson”
More commonly known as E. O. Wilson in his publications. Highly important scientist. Postulated that humans are eusocial creatures similar to ants, termites, seahorses, and naked mole rats because we follow a hierarchical pecking order.
Read his book “The Social Conquest of Earth” if this intrigues you.

Source? Eusociality does not involve any sort of ‘hierarchical pecking order’. The requirements are co-operative childcare, overlapping generations and division of labour.

because we follow a hierarchical pecking order.
Not the anarchists
My ex would say, “that rules like anarchy.” Cute.
Sounds like propaganda tbh
Like it or not, there are people with more power that dictate structure and an order of things.
That didn’t work out too well for the French monarchy, did it?
It’s more accurate to say that the average person doesn’t desire a power structure but merely tolerates it. The moment those structures become oppressive, they get violently torn down.
Its been pretty oppressive for a while now - c’mon America, wake up…
In what world do people who have more power have it based on biology? You think trump is some biological specimen to get into power? Or is it the societal structure we created that allowed him to rise to power?
The hierarchical structure of humans is some literal right winger shit.
Lol, it’s pseudoscientific propaganda. Don’t pretend Wilson isn’t controversial
Not accusing you of anything, just find it funny how “look at it from a purely biological position” is exactly the line transphobes use
Christ. I forgot that it’s impossible to speak about science online.
This is absolute propaganda. Early human societies didn’t work like that. Hunter-gatherers didn’t work like that.
This is yet another “brutal selfish liberalism is hUmAn nAtUrE!!1!1!!1!” shit that was disproven in 1800s.
