I'm no anthropologist either, but like kurmit I'll say a few words. In every social group I can think up, there has been a leader/alpha position. Think about the origin of any social group. Just two people hanging out really. Sure, it can be mutually led at this point. But as the group gets larger and larger, a leadership position will have to be filled. If the group is to continually meet up and remain a collective of people, someone is going to have to initiate gatherings and what not. Over time, that person will be looked up to as the "alpha" of that group. Whether it be a male or female, I don't think that really matters.
