Dominance Is the Strategy to Gain Power or Status

There's two kinds of coalition. There's one that might be between brothers and they can be supporting each other for a very long time, or between a male who was dominant and the one who's taken over his dominance. And then the other kind of alliance is a temporary one. Two males are wanting to take bananas from a higher ranking one; neither of them on their own could do it. They gang up, but that's a temporary alliance. Because of that, these two then become so strong, an alliance, that nothing breaks it.
