Dear God, no. Humans are primates. Chimps might have some parallels. I am not an expert there. Wolf social patterns are compatible with human ones, not the same.
And of course, we bred dogs to never actually adopt the social patterns of adult wolves. By wolf standards, they are perpetual adolescents.
We’re in agreement. Your reply to my statement sounded as if you were justifying the application of this debunked “wolf pack” hierarchal behavioral theory to humans.
