Not even fully how they act in captivity, but how Nazi psychologists decided they acted in captivity to form a model of natural animal behavior to justify a lot of their ideology.

[(Anonymous)]

Although the notions of "alpha wolf" and "alpha dog" seem thoroughly ingrained in our language, the idea of the alpha comes from Rudolph Schenkel, an animal behaviorist who, in 1947, published the then-groundbreaking paper "Expressions Studies on Wolves." During the 1930s and 1940s, Schenkel studied captive wolves in Switzerland's Zoo Basel, attempting to identify a "sociology of the wolf."

In his research, Schenkel identified two primary wolves in a pack: a male "lead wolf" and a female "bitch." He described them as "first in the pack group." He also noted "violent rivalries" between individual members of the packs


So thanks to that asshole we get gross MRAs celebrating "Alpha Males" and calling any dude who is not a raging dicknoodle "Beta."

And A/B/O fics.

This explains a lot about the Nazi poodle in diskworld who idolised wolf packs

[cakemage]

Damn, I never thought about it that way, but that actually makes a lot of sense.

How does drawing erronous conclusions during research make one an asshole?

(Also, he was Swiss, and, IIRC correctly, not connected to the nazis who were more about the predator part of the wolf pack than alpha and omega, anyway. His study was published in 1947 only, too.)
