Since the concept of Alpha-ness

is a psychological term I think a psychologist would be the appropriate resource. The terminology is used in modern

psychology and is used in anthropology.

Holding two science degrees myself and having grown up around

physicists I am unimpressed by people who claim expertise outside their fields. I am always happy to difer to the

professional within their field. I won't argue rock or law with you either because it isn't my training. You may

notice I rarely presume to give advice on pheromones other than recomending a reasonable method of testing them or

clearly stipulating that this applies to me only. The same even applies to fields I am considered an expert in, it

helps me keep my big foot out of my big mouth.
