michael asked in PetsDogs · 4 years ago

have noticed a pattern between creatures. what are your thoughts?

the pattern i found is between people and wolves or dogs. people can survive alone like wolves can but they create groups/packs, and in those packs there is social standings similar in basic form one who is the strongest is at the head of the social classes, the one who is the weakest is a the bottom of the social standing. do you think that people based the original social structures off of domesticate wolves and their packs. because of the effeciency of them as a group with the tactics they use? if so please provide your thoughts on the manner, and if you disagree please provide your thoughts as well. it would be a nice discussion to find some info from people.

    Animals that can survive alone don't tend to form packs. You don't see packs of polar bears or alligators or sharks. Those lower on the food chain necessarily need the pack to survive. Strength in numbers. Humans fit this description since singly we don't survive well.

    No. We are social creatures by nature so we form communities. All social creatures that form some type of "pack" have a hierarchy system, even insects (look at bees and ants)
