consider the social organization of some of the other great apes such as chimpanzees and gorillas where each group has an alpha male that leads them. given that those apes organize in such a way, it is highly likely that our pre-human ancestors already structured their tribes with a ruling alpha at the top. as we evolved and developed civilization and technology this instinctual genetic social behavior adapted and small tribes and troupes being lead by alphas consolidated into larger groups also led by alphas. but at some point technology and social conditions made it so that the leader position did not necessarily require alpha status anymore, effectively separating the position from the man. in this way people are still instinctively and genetically predisposed toward a hierarchical structuring of society, but with the position abstracted away from the leader they would have were they still living as apes or hunter gatherers.
