I was hoping he’d do more of a debunking on the scientific side of things but I guess he’s not an anthropologist.
From the zoology perspective, it is often infuriating how many times I have to re-explain that there's no such a thing as an alpha male* in wolves. So if there was a simple video about that subject, I'll gladly take it.
But the think is, it is a lie that is repeated ad nauseam in most media (even kids books about wolves).
Still, I do like Pop Culture Detective, altogether with Folding Ideas is part of my high-brow Youtube time.
Do not ask about my low-brow Youtube time, it is not a place of honor.
*As in it doesn't mean what you think it means.

Something like this?. Seems to be pretty simple and accessible to me, as someone who knows next to nothing about it.
