Essentially, in the deep past, all men were “alphas” and “betas”. All men were involved in hunting, danger, risk, and dominance displays and also provided meat and shelter. Industrial civilisation has prised this apart.

“Beta” men are better at civilisation building. Think of the nerd who earns huge amounts of money working with computers but is bad with women. He is a great provisioner. “Alphas” criminals, pop stars, and so on are either useless at provisioning or will never settle.

It’s a product of the division of labour. You have a football star who the division of labour turns into a highly attuned alpha with excellent physical development, media promotion, etc. You also have the computer nerd who is rich but undesirable.

There probably was always a caste of men who had their pick of the women. But industrial civilisation has widened this divided to an extreme degree, partly by training most main to be extremely submissive as part of labour discipline.

Consequently, you have this extreme divide. Violent criminals are alpha. It’s only aggressive CEOs and footballers who can be an alpha and provision.
