There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

Yes, early humans behave very similar to lions when it comes to mating, thru "dominance hierarchy", strongest and most dominant male was leader of the group and in charge, he got the first "right" for mating.
Social structure and hierarchy of early humans operated very similar to what we see today in monkey and other primate communities, which is not that different from lion and some other mammals social structure.
Even today we see competition between guys for girls, but mostly thru social rank and status, not direct display of "dominance", although even today we can see 2 guys clashing in a real fight over a girl.
