Tyack and Tobin

Tyack and Tobin are researchers known for their work on the concept of "dominance" in social groups, especially among animals like primates. Their research explores how certain individuals assert control or influence over others through behaviors like communication and social interactions. In simple terms, they studied how some members become leaders or establish status within their groups, and how these dynamics affect the group's cohesion and functioning. Their work helps us understand social hierarchies and the importance of communication in maintaining order and relationships in both animal and human societies.
