Alpha/Beta/Omega is based on debunked science.

So since y'all seem to like to say that Omegaverse is "based upon wolves", let's sit down and have a fun little chat about how it's not. Because it isn't. At all.

The Alpha/Beta/Omega hierarchy is known as "pack theory", where there's supposedly a domineering "alpha" wolf on top who's in charge of all the other wolves, an "omega" wolf that's at the bottom of the ladder, and the majority middle consisting of "beta" wolves.

Newsflash: THIS IS NOT TRUE. I REPEAT, THIS IS LITERALLY BULLSHIT.

The "experiment" that resulted in this theory ocurred in the 1940's. Swiss animal behaviorist Rudolph Schenkel took 10 wolves from completely different groups who had never interacted before, put them in captivity, and watched to see what would happen. They did in fact result what is considered the a/b/o hierarchy, however...

THIS IS NOT NORMAL BEHAVIOR.

Wolves in the wild do NOT do this. Wolf "packs" in the wild are familial. They consist of a mated pair and their offspring that depart the "pack" as they get older. Occasionally multiple families will group together.

But there is NOT an "alpha" wolf that sits at the top of the ladder, and there is NOT an "omega" wolf that sits at the bottom. These only exist in artificially created environments and circumstances like the one created by the experiment that caused this misinformation.

So when you say that omegaverse is "based on wolves", what would be infinitely more accurate to say is that omegaverse is "based on debunked science that has no bearing on how wolves naturally behave".

This is not hard information to find. A quick google search will easily land you into quite informative territory that backs this up. For any of you mildly interested in it, I would encourage you to do so, it's an interesting read.
