  1. languages evolve, and the origin is nothing more than a curio today. People use the term "alpha" to mean a thing that exists in humans, even if it never did in wolves.
  2. this thing is called by the rest of the population "being and asshole" and as such i find the self identification of those people very usefull and time saving.

~~Does it exist in humans, though? I'm fairly certain that it remains pseudoscientific in humans as well as wolves.~~

Oh, wait, I read point two. I stand corrected.
