high testosterone men are usually alphas

now when a guy's alpha, the stress of maintaining status leads to elevated cortisol etc

why? competition (hey, there are other men out there who also wanna be top dog... so all that posturing and fighting to maintain top dog status takes a toll one's health)

that includes competition for mates (hey, you're not the only alpha out there)
one of the most well-loved personalities and leaders in our workplace,
"i'm the second-best there is! because... everyone else is fighting for first place."

while the study does argue well, for primates, the fact is, human intellect has a role to play.
