Most primates do not form hierarchies. They gather spontaneously around the nearest fertile female and beg for attention. Instead of forming strata they chase away the younger offspring. The natural tendency among lower primates is to exclude or dispose of the younger offspring (particularly male) to maintain dominance. This behavior towards young males is only balanced by the social organization implemented by primates proficient in communication. If communication is but a tool for pointing with words, it is easy to understand why the upright primate, which is the tool wielding species, will utilize language to establish order among communities. The primate who stands upright does not use his hands to walk. His brain which evolved for balancing on two legs is equally useful for abstraction. It was made possible therefore to use language as a recursive extension of his cognitive domain. The dominance hierarchy for the upright primate was able to extend beyond Erectus alone.
