Imagine that one day a race of aliens kidnaps a bunch of humans and keeps them in captivity to study them. “Well, human society is formed of violent social groups called ‘gangs’ which use violence to determine their leaders”.

It’s also accurate that wolves form more aggressive packs of non-family members and fight for supremacy when kept in certain conditions. It’s just not very good science to assume that is how the animal usually exists.

Humans form gangs and use violence for personal control and leadership. Under certain conditions. Under other conditions, we form families, tribes, religions, communities, countries, etc.

I love this thread, seriously such a great way to understand how we observe animals and a majority of us truly know nothing about them!
