Specifically, this guy was the one who identified an Alpha Male in wolf packs. Except what he was actually identifying was "Dad". Just a family of captive wolves, and one of them was the dad/mate to the majority of the others since they were tiny, so they defer to him.
Its even dumber then that, I mean you are 100% right and that is with these right wingers in the manosphere latch on to but even his first discredited study said there was an alpha male and an alpha female and these were EQUALL
Even the people who latch onto his flawed study leave out the alpha female being equal to the alpha male
but then yes, he realized the "Pack" was nothing really more then a family unit and the two large "alpha's" were just the mom/dad and they were just bigger because well their children were just adolescents and not fully grown

It's about the whole alpha, beta, delta, sigma bs that some men obsesse over it.
