Well...

Alpha wolves definitely don't exists, but there is support for "alpha" behaviour in primates, particularly chimpanzees.

"Alpha" is still a stupid and harmful idea, but it's not without precedent.

They also found in other chimpanzees that alphas don't exist. I think we are both in agreement that it's a stupid construct to apply to humans though.
