Stanford neuroscientist and primate expert Robert Sapolsky says he doubts humans have true alpha males because our society is structured in a much more complicated way than, say, dogs. We tend to belong to multiple social circles, so the guy who empties the trash for a big corporation might be a star DJ at night or dominate the company softball team… Part of the way sneaker males trump their alpha brothers is “male display.” Instead of using force, males use beauty or art to impress. A particularly striking peacock will get the whole flock of females to chase after him, leaving all the runners up alone and dejected. “It’s like Beatlemania,” said evolutionary psychologist Geoffrey Miller. Even today, studies show that males in the creative arts enjoy a big advantage – they got four to ten sex partners in a lifetime, compared to three for the average man.
