In this episode, Armand DiMele and Roberta Maria Atkins explore the fascinating parallels between wolf behavior and human social dynamics. They discuss the roles of alpha, beta, and omega individuals within both wolf packs and human communities, emphasizing how these roles influence behavior and leadership. The hosts delve into various types of behaviors, including operant, escape, avoidant, and hoarding behaviors, and how they manifest in social structures. By examining these concepts, they aim to provide listeners with a deeper understanding of human behavior through the lens of animal behavior.
