Abstract
- This article examines the impact of sex and gender on power, dominance, and leadership in human and mammalian societies. It emphasizes the similarities in the unequal distribution of power between males and females in both human and animal societies. The article highlights the need for interdisciplinary research and collaboration between natural and social sciences to gain a comprehensive understanding of these dynamics. It explores various factors that influence women's advancement to powerful positions and the evaluation of female and male leaders. The article also discusses the evolutionary origins and flexibility of intersexual dominance in mammalian societies, with a focus on lemurs. Overall, the goal of the research is to deepen our understanding of gender and sex inequalities and generate insights into reducing disparities. [Extracted from the article]
