  2. Jan 10, 2022 · In this review, we provide an overview of the theoretical underpinnings of dominance as a concept within evolutionary biology, discuss the challenges of applying it to humans and consider alternative theoretical accounts which assert that dominance is relevant to understanding status in humans.

  3. The DBS motivates behavior, directs sensory processing, and ensures efficient, rapid learning of behaviors that increase the likelihood of attaining this goal. The human DBS and its components evolved in the context of both competition and the need for peaceful group living.

  4. Dominance is the aspect of social hierarchy that arises from agonistic interactions involving actual aggression or threats and intimidation. Accumulating evidence points to its importance in humans and its separation from prestige--an alternate mechanism in which status arises from competence or benefit-generation ability.

  5. Aug 23, 2022 · Examining dominance and prestige, two routes by which social rank can be earned in human groups (Henrich & Gil-White, 2001), may provide insight on the evolved links between status and health in human hierarchies, due to how these routes differ in the reliance on more forceful versus more pro-social tendencies to earn social status. Dominance ...

  8. Jan 10, 2022 · We suggest distinguishing between different types of social mobility to provide conceptual clarity about hierarchy dynamics at the individual level, and emphasize the need to explore how these dynamic processes produce dominance trajectories over individual lifespans and impact selection on status-seeking behaviour.
