Great post. There is so much more to the alpha male roles most do not even realize. Sadly politicians latch on to catchy words without really understanding the meaning.
I detest bullies and for me it is easy to see the difference between a real alpha male and a bully.
The world of apes, chimps, baboons,etc. is as nuanced as humans but when humans see others humans as animals things get ugly real fast.
VictoriaNotes comment on Robert Sapolsky study was fun reading along with your TED talk.
Ty for posting.

We do tend to associate the two. Good find! Thanks!
