Humans can organize themselves in any way they choose however. We have evolved beyond the chicken and the baboon.
Humans can choose an authoritarian top down structure, based on monarchy and the military.
Or they might try a lateral power system, like the Jews did in the early kibbutzim.
And being humans they can make either system work.
It is a choice.
Top down dictatorship, or something less fitting a chicken.
It's surprising how much of human behaviour is unconscious and driven by instinct.
Then if not instinct, self interest.
Given self interest as a driver of decision making/behaviour, a pecking order being established is inevitable.
Hardly any different to chickens or Chimps or Baboons, all of which have a hierarchy, hence a 'pecking order.'
So basically you think you can draw a line from alleged "self interest" as the only driving force in human interaction to....top down hierarchy.
Absurd rubbish.
Humans have many driving forces and are easily capable of forming power structures NOT based on top down hierarchy.
That is what the evidence shows.
