Gorillas have 'alpha males'. Humans have leaders -- and some of their followers call themselves 'alpha males' because they think it sounds cool.

Bad take. Alpha/Beta is a model of *women's mate preferences* (documented by guys like Buss) that has been extremely useful to men in deprogramming post-'70s nonsense. Clearly, human hierarchies are more complex; neither "alphas" nor "leaders" is a subset of the other.

I'm familiar with research on human mate preferences.
