  1. This article discusses dominance personality dimensions found in primates, particularly in the great apes, and how they compare to dominance in humans. Dominance traits are seen in virtually all primate species, and these dimensions reflect how adept an individual is at ascending within a social hierarchy.

Dominance hierarchies are often measured in terms of their linearity, i.e., the degree to which the rank order is transitive (de Vries 1995).

  6. How do linear dominance hierarchies arise and what determines the positions of individuals in these hierarchies? These questions are central to our under-standing of the evolution of social behaviour because dominance hierarchies, which are common in social animals (e.g. [1–6]), can profoundly influence
