      The "alpha"/"beta"/"omega" phenomenon is something observed in wolves in captivity -- who had no relationship with each other and were freaked out at being trapped together, and had "dominance fights" for that reason It's like trying to study human society based on prison gangshttps://twitter.com/eevee/status/1332382443207155714 …

      Arthur Chu added,

      eevee @eevee
      your regular reminder that alpha wolves are not a real thing and the concept has only stuck around because, idk, i guess humans love bootlicking and love to think that wolves do it too

      I do think about how a lot of bad zoology was based on lazy scientists putting animals in wildly unnatural environments for their convenience and thinking this would get them useful data It's like reality TV

          Put a bunch of random strangers who'd have absolutely no reason to interact with each other under normal circumstances in one big house and don't let them leave Find out what happens when they stop being polite and start getting real

          I believe that's also the explanation for the praying mantis females biting off the males' heads, but I'll have to double check on that

          there's also the part where scientists have long projected their own ideas about human behavior into their interpretations of animal behavior cf. "harem-forming" animals fausto-sterling has a ton of examples of this

          It's not even that, it was just an early phase of research. They corrected the mistake long ago. If you already have wolves in captivity it makes sense to look at them before you look at wolves in the wild. That's what they did

          The last part is now making me think about if aliens took their studies of human behavior from watching reality tv.

          Same as the blobfish: biologists thinking that the way it looks after gratuitous tissue damage from being pulled into a much lower pressure environment is how it looks in its actual habitat.pic.twitter.com/KAFNrKv9BT
