Very old comments[edit]

I read recently that the wolf behaviour was interpreted wrongly. The dominant wolf is the one turning away (i.e. presenting its neck in a dare-you-bite-me? gesture).

The opposite of dominance (in behavior) is submissiveness, not that other term (not sure that's even a word!). --Reefpicker (talk) 15:32, 11 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Proposal to delete sentence[edit]

I propose to delete the sentence 'The concept of male dominance over females is " artificial since each has different needs and agendas"[4].' The reference cited does not seem particularly authoritative and it contradicts itself in terms of male/female dominance by stating "One of the revolutions in thinking which came about with new ideas on evolution, typified by such books as Dawkins The Selfish Gene, is that no individual acts "for the good of the species" DrChrissy (talk) 18:51, 4 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Sorting out multiple WP:FORKs in this area[edit]

Discussion was at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Animals#Animal_social_hierarchy_articles_-_merge?. The multiple and very large overlaps were glaring. Chiswick Chap (talk) 17:01, 22 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
