We are animals, that is certain. Yet the one defining characteristic that seperates us from other animals is the ability to reason. Because of reason, we are enabled to do things and experience many forms of emotion. But does with reason, come the abandonment of instict? I've been thinking about how animals attract one another, the way they live their lives, hunt, group together and perform many of the other various actions that lead to survival, and wondered if the same rules apply to us in modern society and how they relate to our ability to use reason. Are there alpha males who attract the attention of women? how does this work? Is there a constant competetion between males fighting for the attention of the same woman, how does the woman decide who is more attractive? Could the alpha male be an alpha based on looks alone? What makes a successful alpha male? How do you identify an alpha male? Or have we abondaned our integral insticts and conform to a new socially accepted form of behaviour that differes from our natural instics? Are there alpha females? How does all of this apply in modern society?

Sorry if its not specific enough, these are just random things ive been thinking about and summarised rather suddenly.
