Welcome to c/science_memes @ Mander.xyz!

A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.

Rules

  1. Don't throw mud. Behave like an intellectual and remember the human.
  2. Keep it rooted (on topic).
  3. No spam.
  4. Infographics welcome, get schooled.

This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.

There are species that do have leader types in the social hierarchies though. Gorillas for example, or orcas.

The problem is that you can't use info about wolf hierarchies to draw conclusions about human hierarchies. You can't even use info about extant primates to draw conclusions about humans.
