The "Alpha Wolf" meme originates from the popular but widely debunked idea of the "alpha" in wolf packs. The concept gained traction in the 20th century, particularly from a 1970 study by David Mech, which suggested dominance hierarchies in captive wolves. However, Mech later clarified that wild wolf packs function more like families, with parents leading rather than an "alpha" dominating. Despite this, the idea persisted in pop culture, inspiring memes that humorously exaggerate "alpha" behavior—often mocking overly macho attitudes, self-proclaimed "sigmas," or absurdly serious lone-wolf mentalities. The meme remains a satirical jab at misguided dominance ideals.
