- Ubiquitous in the animal kingdom, dominance hierarchies emerge through social competition and underlie the control of resources. Confronting the disruptive influence of socioeconomic inequalities, human populations tend to split into groups who legitimize existing dominance hierarchies and groups who condemn them.
Social groups across species rapidly self-organize into hierarchies, where members vary in their level of power, influence, skill, or dominance. In this review we explore the nature of social hierarchies and the traits associated with status in both humans and nonhuman primates, and how status varies across development in humans.

Jan 10, 2022 · Initial dominance hierarchy formation may be influenced by multiple interacting factors, including an animal's individual attributes, conventions and self-organizing social dynamics.
Jan 10, 2022 · Dominance captures behavioural patterns found in social hierarchies that arise from agonistic interactions in which some individuals coercively exploit their control over costs and benefits to extract deference from others, often through aggression, threats and/or intimidation.
Jan 10, 2022 · Across species, social hierarchies are often governed by dominance relations. In humans, where there are multiple culturally valued axes of distinction, social hierarchies can take a variety of forms and need not rest on dominance relations. Consequently, humans navigate multiple domains of status, i.e. relative standing.
In social animals, the formation of dominance hierarchy is essential for maintaining the stability and efficacy of social groups. A study by Wang and colleagues employ a combination of comparative genomic and functional approaches to shed new light on both the genetic mechanisms and the evolutionary histories of dominance behavior. Many animals ...

How do culturally evolved institutional hierarchies create dominance?
Dominant individuals accrue social influence and achieve superior resource access and greater fitness through their greater coercive control over costs and benefits; they maintain their attained rank in a stable hierarchy through intimidation and threats.
