The triggers for flangening are mostly social, if they express outward leadership, innovation, reliability in resources, and gentle with babypongos, ladypongos love them and it activates hormones. Unfortunately not all are so lucky. most male pongos are flangecels even if they're okay at practical stuff and socially liked.. they just lack the wiring. It's mostly fine since populations require average fodder.. except for the fact that flangecels are the primary rapists of pongo societies...
