    social hierarchy studies have primarily been done on lobsters and wolves

    I’m skeptical. I’ll grant you wolves, but even then, wolves I feel are no more or less studied than a bunch of other species which are subject of extensive interest, especially primates, dolphins and orcas, but also lions, hyenas, meerkats, bees and ants. At least those are all studied well enough that we have plenty to pick from.

    I appreciate your point though that its ideologically driven anyway and that it’s all moot and 100% agree.
