What we could call "alpha male theory" is pseudoscience, but also pseudohistory. The idea's always that a glorious alpha past has fallen.

I sort of agree with you. I think they're gross generalisations of personality types, but not devoid of any meaning.

On the other hand, look at people in leadership positions, CEOs, etc, and what personality traits tend to dominate.

yeah but traits like confidence, ambition, a certain ruthlessness are not the half of what "alpha" is supposed to mean.

Well it depends what we mean by alpha. Behavioural traits or personality traits. Most people categorise those into the latter.

alpha/beta behaviour is clearly apparent in nature. In humans, society has eroded a lot of these behaviours.

In ethology, "alpha" is used to describe rank, not necessarily behavior. And the "alpha/beta" description of wolves is debunked..
