It's often said that hierarchy is necessary because humans are selfish and greedy. But is that really the case? Hierarchy creates a system where the worst actors are given the easiest path to power.
Could you maybe explain how you come to this opinion? Because its hard to follow for me
Observation of the social dynamics described in the links above as they apply to any social group anywhere.
Humans are Apes. Every troop of Apes has a leader, and further stratification below that. Humans are no different. If there isn't a structure (deference to elders, to the smartest, etc) pushing for a different outcome, the dominant ape in a human troop is generally the most charismatic individual, with the strata below that generally determined by similarity or proximity to the leader. In any group larger than a handful, the most charismatic will almost certainly be Neurotypical.
Humans are closer to bonobos and they are a matriarchal based social group
Bonobos are apes, and a matriarchal leader of a troop is still a leader, so I'm not sure what this is meant to say in response to what I wrote?
