how the hell did I get here

[@nothanks1239]

I'm actually amazed that the alpha was determined due to the high ranking of his mother. I always thought it was determined through aggression; winner takes all. Also, interesting to see other previous alphas take sides, as opposed to trying to win back the throne. The politics aren't that far off from human politics.

[@Uncarnaled]

That’s the interesting thing about chimps. It’s not the strongest or best fighter that leads but one with an ability to make alliances. And this is mostly done when a chimp shows affection to lower ranked chimps which makes them gain its trust. Whenever the alpha is under threat the others may intervene and defend the chimp. Sometime it’s not about what you can do but who you know.

[@domenstrmsek5625]

​@@Uncarnaled same with humans

[@isaac-vb1ng]

You ever see those rich peoples kids that act like untouchable assholes? It’s the exact same thing

[@Sarah-zr1nj]

Many monkey and ape hierarchies are determined by the support and approval of the females. And if a male chimp rises to alpha and terrorizes his group or treats them unjustly, they will eventually be usurped by their troop and knocked down to a much lower rank.

[@TJ28628]

That mother seems so wise

[@joshthemediocre7824]

I think people should be studying the chimps at the Tama Zoo in Japan., They are a split into two groups in rotation to the outside enclosure. Both groups that consist of many of the same members just different alphas all get along extremely well. Although power has changed hands 3 times in last 5 years there is little to no violence in the group. Even the most stern Alpha of the bunch is best friends with what is on paper the lowest ranking female and both alphas spend large parts of their days playing with the children of the group, fully trusted by the mothers. It is truly something to see.

[@TizerisT.]

Thats good. Basically theyve got a community, rather than the alpha male wars.

[@krunkaintdead69]

@Ettoredipugnar What makes you think happiness is purely a human emotion? All animals have emotion. From dogs to chimps. And Chimps do have compassion. Same goes for most Apes. You ever seen the videos of chimps taking care of other animals? Or the Gorrilla taking care of a wounded child? We're not so different from Apes. And these "beasts" don't live by instinct. Politics is rather complex and not instinct. Using or medicine is not instinct.
