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.

Although we have every reason to suspect that the evolutionary processes and incentives identified by the logic of the models described above will apply to humans, identifying and studying dominance in our species poses particular challenges due to the influence of both cultural evolution and culture-gene coevolution. Below, we consider three key f...
The evidence reviewed above indicates that dominance continues to be a viable route to rank acquisition, impacting both social influence and fitness in humans across a wide range of contexts, and plays a role in human status asymmetries from the youngest of ages. However, the human-specific complications presented in this review cannot be overlooke...

Norm-governed coalitionary behaviors and human-specific eco...

The theory proposes that group-based hierarchy is dynamically self-sustaining, even in the face of varied and dramatic social change.
